Rhythms of the Soul

Oil on canvas, 90 x 90 cm, 10000 USD

Three musicians play the tambourine (dap in Uighur) with the moon shining brightly above them. With the tap of a tambourine, dancers in the Bezeklik Thousand Buddha Caves (Myn-Oy in Uighur) of Turfan, an ancient Silk Road oasis city, seem to come to life.
