EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the serene and spiritual atmosphere inside the Shwedagon Paya, also known as the Shwe Dagon pagoda, in Yangon (Rangoon), Myanmar. The image showcases a harmonious blend of tradition and contemporary life as a female nun sits in deep prayer before a majestic statue of the Buddha. The full-length shot reveals the intricate details of both the nun's traditional attire and the golden sculpture that stands tall behind her. Bathed in warm hues, this indoor scene exudes tranquility and reverence for Buddhist customs. The architectural marvels within this sacred space are evident through the stone alcove that houses the deity. The platform on which she sits represents centuries-old heritage, while its vibrant colors add vibrancy to an otherwise peaceful setting. As we observe from a rear view perspective, it becomes apparent that worshiping at this shrine is not limited to one person or gender. This cultural aspect highlights inclusivity and spirituality shared by people from all walks of life. Gavin Hellier/Robert Harding's photography skillfully captures not only religious devotion but also showcases Myanmar's rich cultural tapestry. Through this vertical composition, viewers can immerse themselves in South East Asia's enchanting spirituality while appreciating its awe-inspiring architecture and sculptures adorned with gold leaf - truly a sight to behold!
