The White Proposal (2014) relates to the Tibetan struggle for independence. The central Buddha figure is constructed from excerpts of The Memorandum on Genuine Autonomy for the Tibetan People, which was presented to the Chinese government by the Tibetan government-in-exile. The document argued that Tibetan autonomy could be granted in accordance with the constitution of China; however, the Chinese government and media largely ignored it, leading many Tibetans to question the current path of the Tibetan struggle and our approach to gaining independence.
