OM MANI PADME HUM was originally commissioned by the Dunedin Public Art Gallery for their ‘Big Wall’ in 2017. An immense installation, OM MANI PADME HUM consists of over 1500 metres of silk ribbon hung to create an immersive colourful spectrum in the two contained North Voids. With hand-tuned fair trade bells adorning the bottom, each ribbon is printed with the Buddhist mantra ‘om mani padme hum’, referring to compassion and love for all things. The mantra was gifted to Singh for this work by her Buddhist teacher, Geshe Wangchen.
