Discarded Fortunes

Artist Statement – Discarded Fortunes Series
In Buddhist temples in Japan, as well as in most of Southeast Asia, its common to end your visit to a temple by casting for a fortune slip. Good fortunes are kept to bring luck for the coming year. Bad fortunes are discarded. In Japan, this ritual is extended by tying the unwanted fortune slips to a loom or lattice outside the temple for the weather to dispel and wind to disperse.
