Ken Matsubara’s scenery carries the sound of the cosmos as a repeating circle motif; the Buddhist symbol represents a ringing prayer bowl, and no sound is greater than the full moon. The cycles of the moon—always in flux, ever shifting between waning and waxing—mirrors the shifting seasons of our lives.
