Traces of Bodhicitta―光と沈黙に触れる“目覚め”の輪郭―

In a quiet interplay between light and form, the silhouette of a hand becomes more than just a gesture—it becomes a symbol of awakening. *Traces of Bodhicitta* captures the ephemeral moment where inner compassion, awareness, and stillness take shape, not in clarity, but in outlines illuminated by light. The hand, bathed in backlit glow, is not fully revealed—just as bodhicitta is not possessed, but sensed, aspired to, and quietly nurtured. This photograph invites the viewer into a space of silent contemplation: to feel the trace of the awakened mind—not as something loud or certain, but as a whisper in the light, a gentle presence that asks nothing but attention. Echoing the meditative hand of the Miroku Bosatsu at Kōryū-ji—fingertips resting softly against the cheek in timeless reflection—this image draws from that sacred gesture, letting the light trace a modern silhouette of bodhicitta.
