About the artwork
Bhaktapur of Kathmandu is a spirited city filled with noise, colours, smells and a never-ending adventure for an outsider. In spite of its strong personality, there is an ancient calmness and undeterred spirit that litters the road. The people are self-assured, sanguine and self-efficient with purposeful ways of living. Ong’s framing of the street in Bhaktapur.
