Do-Ho Suh, an innovative artist that we've featured previously, just unveiled this amazing sculpture at the New Orleans Museum of Art. "Karma" is a 23-foot tower of 98 men perched on each other's shoulders and obstructing each other's vision. What does it mean?
It means the man standing on the ground, blind to the karmic consequences, has done/is doing something wrong which will doom him to be reincarnated with someone else's junk dangling on his back.
