"Salvation, Mongolian Highway" documents a 5-foot-by-5-foot LED sculpture of the Buddhist deity Begtse intervening in existing landscapes and structures in the Mongolian countryside. The Mongolian highway, rolling through vast darkness for hundreds of miles at a time, is punctuated intermittently with small roadside towns lit up with bright LED lights. The blazing signs advertise food, rest, karaoke—signs that provide some salvation from the dark. This project imagines a future where Mongolian Buddhist monasteries also signify themselves with LED signs.
