Masks in Ritual
Buddhist imagery in Nomin [Bold]’s art serves as motifs and symbols of past traditions, now placed amid the contemporary realm of superfluous commodification. While the artist takes into account the intrinsic Buddhist meaning that she selectively brings into her works, it is rather her inquiry into the nature of the tradition itself and how it can be juxtaposed, superimposed, or envisioned in the modern world that motivates and inspires her unusual compositions. Such queries and inspirations imbue the art of Nomin with a mystery that demands inquisitive and unfaltering attention. – Uranchimeg Tsultemin

“[the mask] “disembodies” a face in order to “embody” someone else. Belting p. 19.
