Prologue: What‰۪s in a Bodhisattva‰۪s Bag? is a playful and intimate opening to the larger project, *The Bodhisattvas‰۪ Urban Odyssey*. Here, Bodhisattvas are imagined not in temples, but at the threshold of travel, deciding what to pack before stepping into the world.

The works blend sacred symbolism with contemporary culture: Avalokitesí�vara carries Louis Vuitton and Gucci bags, merging Buddhist tradition with the cultural icons of France and Italy. The result is a series that traverses the boundaries of sacred and secular, reverence and humor, setting the stage for their odyssey across global cities.
