EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the mesmerizing sight of butter lamps illuminating the Mongar Dzong, a monastery built in the 1930s. Situated in Bhutan, one of Asia's most enchanting countries, this dzong stands as one of its newest architectural marvels. What makes it even more remarkable is that it was constructed without any plans or nails. As you gaze at this image, your eyes are drawn to the abundance of candles flickering with vibrant flames. The foreground is beautifully illuminated, creating an ethereal and atmospheric ambiance within the religious building. The zen-like atmosphere evokes a sense of tranquility and spirituality. The horizontal composition leads your vision towards a diminishing perspective and vanishing point, emphasizing the vastness and grandeur of this sacred space. A large group of objects - these radiant butter lamps - adds to the visual impact while also symbolizing devotion and reverence. In this color image by Annie Owen/Robert Harding, every detail comes alive: from the intricate architecture to the warm glow cast by each flame. It serves as a testament to both human ingenuity and spiritual dedication found within Bhutanese culture. This photograph invites you into a world where tradition meets innovation; where ancient rituals continue to be practiced amidst modern times. It encapsulates not only beauty but also represents how heat can ignite faith and illuminate souls in profound ways.
