Symbolic Value Zero

A Buddha missing his middle and crowned by a telescope steps from petrified wood, away from itself and to the black mirrored surface. The surface is a 16 ft forced-perspective rectangle. At the horizon of the platform stands an Ainu ceremonial costume in the corner of the room. Supporting the platform and the costume is a tree branch of the same surface as the hallow figure, but reveals itself as a branch-in-itself which reaches back to the stone from which the figure steps.
