'The Light Between Ancient Cracks' exhibition held in Beijing's Hiart Space

A seated Buddha figure from the Sui dynasty (581-618) on display at Hiart Space in Beijing, July 23, 2025. The faded face reminds viewers of the history of the object, while the relaxed legs and serene expression reflect an early moment in Chinese Buddhist sculpture that emphasized calm contemplation.
