Making of "Field of Wishes"
"I truly hope that my art can create change. I know my art might only have a small impact, but I feel a strong responsibility for the mark I leave behind. With the limited time I have in this world, I promise to give my best effort."
- Sonam Dolma Brauen

An in-depth and current investigation of how the spiritual is manifestly present in contemporary art
Encountering the Spiritual provides an alternative to the main currents of presentation and interpretation prevalent in contemporary art, appealing to believers, agnostics, and inveterate skeptics alike. This essential publication demonstrates that the need to address the fundamental questions of life are both innate and ongoing.
