Ideas for backgrounds
Canvas surface as empty stage for events to collide, occur, play out - considering the idea of dormancy and latent potential. Also looking at tokonoma - a recess in many traditional Japanese rooms where objects such as flowers, pottery, bonsai etc. are placed. The tokonoma frames and brings focus to the object so that it may be appreciated.

Image: The Three Poisons - Cockerel (greed), snake (hate) and pig (delusion)
“The Wheel of Life stems from the Tibetan tradition and is a complex representation of the constant circle of life, death and rebirth. The hub of any wheel is the part around which everything else revolves. In the hub of this well known Buddhist icon are three creatures, each biting the other’s tail, spinning round and round in a never ending circle. A cockerel, snake and a pig represent what are often referred to as, The Three Poisons. The cockerel is greed, the snake is hatred and the pig, delusion. Each one is driven in pursuit of the creature in front but at the same time is being consumed by the one that follows. The Three Poisons are the root causes of all suffering. Everything that causes us dissatisfaction, pain or outright suffering stems from one of these three elements.”
