February 23nd - July 1st, 2024

I am thrilled to showcase my Capstone project, which marks my entry into the world of Museum exhibits. The exhibit is a journey into the fascinating historical background of Buddhism's emergence in China and the death culture of Chinese Buddhism in early China. It will take visitors on a deep dive into the beliefs and practices of ancient Chinese culture, exploring the intriguing concepts of Hungry Ghosts and the Ghost Festival, as well as the complexities of the fox spirits. The exhibit promises to be an unforgettable experience for all visitors.

Below is the creation process of the dioramas for the Buddhist Hells segment of the exhibit. Shown are the rough sketches of the dioramas (I definitely did not miss a calling to art), middle, and finished products.  

Special Thank you to my dad, Leland Ransom, for making the dioramas and Fox altars
