EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intricate beauty of an Angkor carving closeup in Siem Reap, Cambodia. The image showcases a mesmerizing depiction of Vishnu and his court atop a weathered wall at Angkor Wat, the largest Hindu temple complex in the world. Built by King Suryavarman II in the early 12th century, this architectural marvel served as the capital of the Khmer Empire. Originally dedicated to Hinduism, it later transformed into a Buddhist sanctuary. Today, Angkor Wat stands as a symbol of Cambodia's rich cultural heritage and is prominently featured on its national flag. The photograph highlights both destruction and endurance. Despite centuries of existence, these ancient stone carvings have withstood the test of time and bear witness to Cambodia's glorious past. The worn-out textures tell stories untold while evoking a sense of awe-inspiring history. As an international landmark and UNESCO World Heritage Site, Angkor Wat attracts visitors from around the globe who are drawn to its mystical allure. This image transports viewers to another era, allowing them to appreciate not only its architectural grandeur but also Cambodian culture deeply rooted within each bas relief. Paul Biris skillfully captured this momentous reunion between artistry and history through his lens in 2015.
