Christopher Martin’s Nonresistance, Nonjudgment, Nonattachment… (2025, Mixed Media Sculpture) stands as one of his most explicitly philosophical works to date, embedding principles of spiritual practice into his striking arrow-and-text format.

The piece consists of a white panel, punctured by a black arrow, carrying the phrase:
“NON-RESISTANCE NON-JUDGMENT NON-ATTACHMENT THE THREE ASPECTS OF TRUE FREEDOM AND ENLIGHTENED LIVING.”

Here, Martin distills wisdom traditions into a sculptural mantra. Each word acts as both instruction and release: nonresistance as the surrender to life’s flow, nonjudgment as the suspension of labels, and nonattachment as freedom from clinging to outcomes. Together, these qualities form a philosophy of inner liberation.

The arrow’s piercing gesture reinforces the gravity of the message, fixing the principles into permanence. It also suggests the paradox of enlightenment itself: wisdom often arrives sharply, unexpectedly, cutting through illusion with sudden clarity.

The stark black lettering, unembellished and direct, intensifies the authority of the statement. The white background and bold typography strip the work to essentials—truth without distraction.

In Nonresistance, Nonjudgment, Nonattachment…, Martin elevates the language of spiritual practice into art object, collapsing philosophy, poetry, and sculpture into one. The piece resonates as both meditation tool and visual reminder, urging the viewer toward a life anchored in freedom, clarity, and acceptance.
