The sixth-century sculptures, carved directly into a limestone cliff face, were destroyed in 2001 on the orders of the Taliban\u2019s supreme commander, Muhammad Omar, who considered them idols. Writing in September 2021, I remarked that the destruction of these sculptures may be an ominous warning for the artistic community of Afghanistan since the Taliban regained control of the country that year.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em data-start=\"0\" data-end=\"44\" data-is-only-node=\"\">The Light That Shines Through the Universe<\/em> is the fifth sculpture installed on the plinth along the <span class=\"hover:entity-accent entity-underline inline cursor-pointer align-baseline\"><span class=\"whitespace-normal\">High Line<\/span><\/span>, the former elevated railway transformed into a public walkway and green space on Manhattan\u2019s west side.

He is the recipient of the Joan Mir\u00f3 Prize and a MacArthur Fellowship, and recently unveiled major commissions at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nationalgallery.sg\/content\/dam\/whats-on\/exhibitions\/temple-by-tuan-andrew-nguyen-\/temple-ng-teng-fong-garden-commission-website.webp.thumb.800.480.png\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the National Gallery Singapore<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/media.artmuseum.princeton.edu\/iiif\/3\/collection\/RB_IMGL9446\/full\/1024,\/0\/default.webp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the Princeton University Art Museum<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">In his sculpture, Nguyen has created a work that comments on destruction, heritage, censorship, and memory. The buddha, made of sandstone measuring 27 feet tall, is modeled after the design of one of the Buddhas of Bamiyan. Nguyen, however, has added a pair of hands to the sculpture. The hands make two distinct gestures, both found extensively in Buddhist and Hindu iconography. The right hand is raised in the <\/span><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">abhayamudra<\/span><\/em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> form, signifying peace and calm. Meanwhile, the left hand is made into a <\/span><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">varadamudra<\/span><\/em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">, meaning generosity. The sculpture\u2019s original hands were destroyed several hundred years ago, so these are a product of the artist\u2019s imagination. Furthermore, the hands are not attached to the whole; they rest on supports in front of where the hands would be. According to the artist, the hands themselves are made from brass repurposed from artillery pieces used in Afghanistan. Nguyen has used repurposed metal in his previous work, primarily unexploded ordnance (bombs, shells, grenades, landmines, etc.) from Vietnam, the country of his birth. The High Line website notes that replacing the Buddha\u2019s hands with metallic ones also alludes to the prosthetic appendages worn by amputees. \u201cBy leaving a noticeable gap between the prosthetics and the body, Nguyen poetically suggests that while some damage may be irreparable, there is still hope and potential to heal the land, the spirit, and the people that have experienced tremendous destruction.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Though the sculpture differs from the destroyed buddha, it was never meant to be an exact replica. According to the High Line\u2019s website, Nguyen\u2019s work is supposed to be \u201can echo, intended to invoke the memory of these lost cultural treasures.\u201d <\/span><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The Light That Shines Through the Universe<\/span><\/em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> replaces <\/span><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.timeout.com\/newyork\/news\/theres-a-petition-going-around-to-keep-the-colossal-pigeon-from-leaving-the-high-line-032326\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Iv\u00e1n Argote\u2019s sculpture <\/span><\/a><em><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.timeout.com\/newyork\/news\/theres-a-petition-going-around-to-keep-the-colossal-pigeon-from-leaving-the-high-line-032326\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Dinosaur<\/span><\/a><\/em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">, which gained popularity online.
