EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the majestic Buddha of Bamiyan, known as Sasaal, radiating a sense of tranquility and serenity. Standing tall at an impressive height of 53-58 meters, this magnificent structure was constructed in 554 AD. Located in the enchanting Bamiyan valley of Afghanistan, it served as one of the significant Buddhist relics in the region. However, tragedy struck when the Taliban regime unleashed destruction upon this cultural treasure in 2001. Along with other precious artifacts, Shamama fell victim to their ruthless acts. Despite its tragic fate, this UNESCO World Heritage Site continues to hold immense historical and spiritual significance. The photograph beautifully captures the essence of nature surrounding this iconic statue. The vibrant colors bring life to every element within the frame - from the lush green trees against a clear blue sky to the imposing cliffs that provide a dramatic backdrop for Sasaal's presence. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded not only of what once stood here but also of our responsibility to preserve and protect such invaluable heritage sites worldwide. This print serves as a poignant reminder that even though physical structures may crumble under destructive forces, their beauty and significance can still be immortalized through artistry like Hadi Zaher's lens has achieved here.
