Representing the six senses to Thai Buddhism, six open books were placed on the floor each with a square hollowed out from the pages. Within each square is a different object symbolic of each sense with one left as an empty space to represent the sixth sense of the mind. The artist composed a short haiku style Thai poem to invoke the spirit of each object, printing it repeatedly like a mantra on old computer paper, which hangs down from the wall above.
