Symbolism is strange—it reflects the meanings we choose to give. Few symbols demonstrate this more powerfully than the swastika. Originally a Sanskrit symbol meaning well-being and good fortune, it was later twisted into one of the most notorious emblems of hatred and destruction by the Nazis.
This Buddha invites us to remember the symbol’s original intent. In this piece, the swastika reclaims its ancient roots—a sign of peace, balance, and spiritual well-being. A reminder that symbols evolve, and sometimes, they deserve to be seen again with fresh eyes.
