I went out to Carriageworks on Sunday to see the Sydney Buddha. Sydney Buddha is an art exhibit that's on until March. The Sydney Buddha is a statue of Buddha made up of 20 tons of ash. The ash is from incense from Buddhist temples around the world. As the exhibit is on display, it slowly disintegrates over time. And across from the ash Buddha is an aluminum sculpture of the same Buddha. It's meant to represent the passage of time and the fleetingness of life.
There weren't a lot of people there, which made it really nice for taking pictures.
It's hard to tell a scale from these pictures, but Buddha was about 25 feet tall.
I took the Redfern train back to Milsons Point. On my way to catch the train, I came across these yarn-bombed bike racks - so cute!
It was a fun day and a good way to escape the 90+ degree weather!
That Buddha exhibit is pretty awesome and thought provoking. Looks like you were the only one these:)
