EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite Apsara carvings in the Leper King Terrace, a remarkable archaeological site within the majestic Angkor Thom complex. Located in Siem Reap Province, Cambodia, this UNESCO World Heritage Site is a testament to the rich history and cultural significance of Southeast Asia. In this full-length shot, we are presented with a close-up view of one of these ornate carvings. The statue depicts a kneeling figure adorned with an intricate head dress, showcasing the meticulous craftsmanship that was prevalent during the 12th century when it was built. The repetition of three objects adds to its visual appeal and highlights the attention to detail. These Apsara carvings hold great religious importance as they represent celestial nymphs from Buddhist mythology. Their presence in this temple serves as a place of worship and reverence for visitors from around the world. The photograph beautifully captures not only the architectural splendor but also transports us back in time, allowing us to appreciate both the artistry and historical significance behind these ancient structures. With no people present, it emphasizes solitude and invites contemplation on how such masterpieces have stood against time. Michael Nolan/Robert Harding's skillful photography has immortalized this famous landmark, offering viewers an opportunity to experience firsthand the beauty and grandeur of traditional Cambodian art and craftmanship.
