KUTHO series

KUTHO takes inspiration from a Burmese concept of merit. A common ritual undertaken by Burmese Buddhists is to cover their relics with gold leaves. Leaving a gold-mark is exclusive to male devotees for merit-making towards better karma. Women, in the guise of an impure status, are forbidden to approach. Gold and Religion have an ancient relationship. The series talks about Power associated to Religion and the relationship between the visible / not visible, cult/occult, and parallels universes.
