We Create to Destroy
Art Description
This art unveils an excavator shaped by the four elements it exploits. Its builds while erasing, roads and homes formed only to be undone. The excavator becomes a harbinger of economic advancement at the cost of nature. Factories flourish, nature fades. The clouds hint at transient resources. The rainbow’s fleeting beauty echoes nature’s fragility, serving as an eloquent cautionary tale.

Born 1991, from Bumthang
One winter vacation, assisting my uncle inspired me to pursue art. I joined the National Institute of Zorig Chusum, the school of thirteen traditional arts and crafts school. For all six years there, I was awarded the first division in all of the exams. My final achievement was The Best Outgoing Student medal in 2014.
In February 2017, I had my first solo exhibition in Thimphu, titled “The Hell Wheel of Life” on the six realms of the universe.
I currently work at Art United Gallery which I founded for the preservation and promotion of Bhutan’s traditional arts and culture. It is my aspiration to help the young and unemployed of Bhutan to find creative job opportunities for a positive impact on their life.
