While it is widely understood that the first artistic representations of Buddha emerged from encounters between Greek and Indian cultures in ancient Gandhara, Natee Utarit asks what works of art might have been produced had Siddhartha himself encountered Greco-Roman civilisation on his wanderings. The resulting series of prints combines Buddhist iconography with classical and renaissance European aesthetic conventions and playful touches of contemporary culture. In these imaginings, the devas dwell in gothic cathedrals, while the Buddha appears in both Hellenic and reclining Thai form, descending from heaven via escalator or harried by self-propelled missiles.

As woodblock prints on rice paper, these works were created with processes and materials that are generally associated with Asia, further complicating the intersection of cultures.
