Inspiration from Tibetan Prayer Flags

Prayer Flags are put up by Buddhists in Tibet. They put these flags outside their homes and at spiritual places. It is believed that the wind will carry the prayers of the Tibetans across the countryside. Prayer flags are said to bring happiness, longevity and prosperity to the flag planter and those around him or her. The designs found on the flags often represent aspects of the enlightened mind for example compassion, perfect action, courage, etc. The flags are placed in sets of five with five colours in the order: blue, white, red, green, yellow (from left to right or from top to bottom.) The colours represent the elements: space or sky, air, fire, water and earth.

I am very inspired by the idea of the prayer flags, by how the prayers of the people are carried on the wind in this awe-inspiring country. I want my five pieces to represent these flags and therefore each piece incorporates one of the five colours.
