Three flags in black pastel can be associated with Nam June Paik’s 1968 writing where he quoted part of a famous koan from the Blue Cliff Record. Two monks are quarreling by a flying mast. The first says, “The wind is moving the flag.” The second says, “The flag is moving the wind.” The third monk passing by yells, “Your mind is moving.” Although this text is about one flag and three different views, the three flags drawn in restrained lines are perhaps appropriate for an illustration of the Buddhist message.
