Not long after completing the colossal project, Ganna was ready for his next monumental challenge. The idea for the World Peace Pagoda hatched out of a 16-foot-tall stone stupa set in the unforgiving landscape of Bayankhongor province in western Mongolia, the birthplace of Ganna’s parents. In the summer of 2013, the community had commissioned the artist to construct the religious structure, selling goats and belongings to raise $60,000 to fund it. His creative vision expanded from the provincial to the universal.
