KK's Journey
Growing up, KK's first encounter with the life of Buddha came through a comic book, filled with vivid illustrations that captivated his imagination. At just five years old, the seeds of visual storytelling were planted. This early exposure not only deepened KK's spiritual inclinations but also sparked his fascination with the film world. Inspired by the idea of life as a series of impactful visuals, KK envisioned his own journey and experiences as a series of paintings, where each canvas is a scene from a movie with another actor portraying KK's role. I hope you find joy and inspiration in this visual narrative of KK's life.
