EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Bogdan Cristel, we are transported to the northeastern region of Moldova in Romania. The image showcases a mesmerizing moment during a traditional parade in Comanesti, just 300 km northeast of Bucharest. A dancer from this enchanting region is seen performing the bear dance, an age-old ritual believed to bring good luck in the New Year. The photograph beautifully captures the essence of this ancient tradition as the dancer moves gracefully through the streets. Clad in a vibrant red costume adorned with fur and wearing an intriguing face mask, they exude both mystery and power. The creative use of color and texture adds depth to their performance, making it truly captivating. This snapshot offers us a glimpse into pre-Christian rural traditions where dancers would tour from house to house while singing and dancing to ward off evil spirits. It serves as a reminder of our rich cultural heritage and how these customs have been passed down through generations. From above, we witness this lone figure immersed in their art form against the backdrop of bustling streets. The composition allows for ample copy space around them, emphasizing their significance within the frame. Bogdan Cristel's skillful lens has immortalized not only a single moment but also an entire culture's history and beliefs within this single photograph.
