Naked actors wade through deep blue water and stretch their hands forward reaching to give various offerings including flowers and statues to the golden statue. The triangular composition of the devotees drives the viewer&#8217;s eye toward the statue in the middle. The golden statue is surrounded by a gold decoration that acts as a halo. This statue is meant to represent the Goddess of Mercy, Guanyin. She sits upon a lotus flower, symbolizing her enlightenment and wisdom while also being surrounded by a golden halo to signify her divinity.  Qingsong stands in the background actively scrutinizing the worship of a Goddess as the land is flooded. The artist combines traditional elements of Buddhism with a surreal scene to convey ideas about the modernization of Buddhism and the idea of \u201cfake\u201d Buddhism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\" \/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sources: <br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Floriani, Giulia Pra. \u201c\u2018The History of Monuments\u2019 of Wang Qingsong.\u201d Wang Quinsong Studio, June 2015, http:\/\/www.wangqingsong.com\/index.php?option=com_content&amp;view=article&amp;id=300&amp;Itemid=43&amp;lang=en.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Karetzky, Patricia Eichenbaum. \u201cWang Qingsong&#8217;s Use of Buddhist Imagery .\u201d Wang Quinsong Studio , Wang Quinsong, http:\/\/www.wangqingsong.com\/index.php?option=com_content&amp;view=article&amp;id=280&amp;Itemid=41&amp;lang=en.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWang Qingsong: Debacle .\u201d Huxley- Parlour, Huxley- Parlour, 10 Aug. 2015, https:\/\/huxleyparlour.com\/exhibitions\/wang-qingsong\/.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Image Source: Qingsong, Wang. \u201cOfferings .\u201d Wang Qingsong Studio , Wang Qingsong , 2003, http:\/\/www.wangqingsong.com\/index.php?option=com_content&amp;view=article&amp;id=83&amp;Itemid=15.
