Artwork description:

Portrait of a Festival participant. The Nine Emperor Gods Festival, otherwise known as Vegetarian Festival or Jay Festival, is a Taoist celebration that sees Thailand turn vegan for nine days, with the most colorful festivities taking place in the city of Phuket. The often gruesome ceremonies during the Festival are definitely not recommended for the faint-hearted. Men and women puncture their cheeks with sharp items, including knives and skewers. It's believed that the Chinese gods will protect them from harm, resulting in little blood or scarring.
This portrait is to be hung somewhere you see every day. Whether that be in your bedroom and it’s what you see when you greet the day or night. All photos are available for purchase as a Limited Edition full color prints. I use superb exhibition quality and pigment ink of the highest museum quality and standards which guarantees long lasting color and saturation.
