This controversial yet fascinating collection of over 40 black wooden buildings showcases intricate carvings, taxidermy, skulls, and animal bones, reflecting themes of life, death, and human nature. Unlike a temple, this space challenges traditional beliefs and offers insight into the artist’s philosophy of the impermanence of life.
