EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by Navesh Chitrakar, we are transported to the heart of Bhaktapur, Nepal, where a skilled potter is meticulously crafting an earthenware oil lamp or "Diyo". The Diyo holds great significance as it is used to adorn temples and homes in preparation for the Tihar festival, also known as Diwali, the Hindu festival of lights. The image captures a close-up view of the potter's hands at work in his workshop. Every detail comes alive - from the dirt on his fingers to the dark color of clay that covers his skin. It showcases the true essence of craftsmanship and artistry that goes into creating these traditional pieces. As we observe this intimate moment between artisan and material, we can't help but appreciate the creative use of air and nature surrounding them. The atmosphere seems charged with dedication and passion for their craft. This photograph not only highlights a beautiful cultural tradition but also serves as a reminder of our connection to handmade objects in an increasingly digital world. It reminds us that there is beauty in imperfection and authenticity found within each stroke made by human hands. Navesh Chitrakar has masterfully captured both the physicality involved in pottery making and its spiritual significance within Nepalese culture. Through this image, he invites us to reflect on our own relationship with traditional crafts while celebrating those who keep these ancient practices alive.
