Nestled in the Himalaya Mountains is the city of Leh in India. Home to some of the most rough terrain on Earth, there is also great beauty. This young monk was seated playing with his prayer beads as his elders did their morning prayers at the Thikse Monastery. This piece is named “Looking Up” because I left the the young monk with a feeling of hope. Of aspiration. I felt like looking up.
