Out of a mysterious gold fog emerges an Asian architectural treasure! The low sun struggles to break through the fog creating a golden glow as it sometimes does, providing a simplified but mysterious backdrop to the complex structure. The mystery of what lies beyond will soon be known….or will it? Simple truths are sometimes veiled. Mysteries are veiled by their very nature. But, maybe there is no mystery. Maybe the artist simply wanted you to focus on the structure. The viewer is left to their own imagination to ponder this and explore the beauty of this Eastern Asian architectural gem with magnificently colored roof tiles and adorned with unsurpassed ornate decorative details. These distinctive roof elements called “chofas” are often adorned with glass mosaics and actually represent the Garuda, an important mythical creature in Thailand. http://thaiarchitecture.blogspot.com/2009/04/chofa-and-naga.html The chofas accent the golden fog and, by their mythical nature and shape, add to the mystery of this Thai architectural treasure.
