This framed photographic artwork captures the essence of Sun Wukong, the legendary Monkey King from the renowned Chinese literary classic, "Journey to the West." With origins dating back to the Chu period in China and influences from the Ramayana depictions, Sun Wukong has evolved into a beloved cultural icon, despite his religious status in Buddhism being disputed by monks. In this image, Sun Wukong is depicted seated on a majestic throne, exuding power and authority. The photograph portrays the moment when the Monkey King, hoping for a promotion and recognition among the gods, is invited to Heaven by the Jade Emperor. However, upon realizing that he has been given the lowly position of "Protector of the Horses," Sun Wukong rebels and proclaims himself The Great Sage, Heaven's Equal. The irrepressible nature of the Monkey King is beautifully captured in this artwork. Surrounded by swirling heavenly mists, Sun Wukong's presence is both captivating and awe-inspiring. The photograph was taken in a temple located in the Shau Kei Wan district of Hong Kong, adding a touch of cultural significance to this portrayal of the iconic Monkey King.
