Journey Through Life: An Autobiographical Frieze

Create a symbolic autobiographical frieze in the style of Late Antiquity, showcasing four pivotal events in your life depicted in Greek/Roman elements. From your birth at Lumbini to enlightenment at Bodh Gaya, first sermon at Sarnath, and finally, your death at Kushinagara. This frieze, inspired by the Buddha frieze from Gandhara, Pakistan, should be depicted in a chronological left-to-right order with you as the central figure in at least three sections. Embrace the historical artistry and depth of meaning seen in Late Antique sarcophagi for a truly reflective representation of your life.
