"Terminus" was included in The Missing Peace: Artists Consider the Dalai Lama exhibition, which started in Los Angeles at the Fowler Museum in 2006 and travelled to the Loyola University Museum of Art,Chicago; The Rubin Museum and SVA Gallery in New York; Yerba Buena Art Center,San Francisco; Fundacion Canal, Madrid; The Nobel Museum, Stockholm and closed five years later at the San Antonio Museum of Art. It uses hundreds of cast wax fingerprints collected from friends to create this aura-like pattern often found in Tibetan Buddhist paintings. Terminus was reviewed in several publications including the New York Times and the Chicago Tribune.
