Inspired by the motif on traditional Buddhist prayer flags, which today are made of synthetic, non-biodegradable materials, "Windhorse" is a commentary on both the environment and (im)permanence. The sculpture, made of fallen, faded, entangled prayer flags collected from the mountains, breathes new life into their prayers and revisits this tradition in the age of commodification and mass consumption. The META Foundation introduced the digitized sculpture as one of Bhutan’s first NFTs during the Fast Company Innovation Festival on September 29, 2021.
