Metis Atash is a contemporary sculptor whose practice explores the relationship between material luxury and spiritual reflection. Shaped by experiences across Bali, India, and Miami, she draws on Daoist philosophy and meditative traditions to create meticulously handcrafted works. Her signature Punkbuddha series reinterprets the Buddha through minimalist forms and surfaces encrusted with Swarovski crystals. Through this fusion of symbolism, craftsmanship, and contemporary aesthetics, Atash examines duality, identity, inner balance, transformation, and human connection
