One of a kind artwork created exclusively for the multimedia art exhibition, Sanctuary: A New Earth, displayed in Hồ Chí Minh City, Vietnam from September 9 – 16, 2023.
This artwork is traditional Mongolian vertical script. The Mongolian language has a long history of unique Mongolian culture; however, the Classical Mongolian changed after World War 2 when Mongolia was aided by Russia and adopted a Communist government. They also adopted a new writing system, Cyrillic.
Efforts are now being made to revive the traditional script, and it has been a part of the educational curriculum since 1994.
This artwork is a precious part of the research I am doing to develop the international creative storytelling project: the WEIRDrpg. This parable for modern life focuses on Wisdom and Empathy and how we can learn to make wise choices to create a better world.
