Noah Latif Lamp works across a diverse range of mediums including sculpture, installation, performance, and painting. His motivation and passion for creation are driven by a curiosity that questions societal structures and human behavior. This of ten extends to controversial artistic movements and activities. His work, especially those presented at Kan’ei-ji Temple, clearly addresses fundamental themes of human life and death, as well as time. Encased within his hourglasses is “Ganges Sand,” which speaks to the Buddhist concept of the cycle of life (reincarnation) and time that far surpasses individual human experiences.
