EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intricate details of a 7-meter-tall standing Buddha carved into rock, located at Gal Vihara in Polonnaruwa, Sri Lanka. As a UNESCO World Heritage Site, this ancient civilization stands as a testament to the rich history and cultural heritage of Asia. The image exudes an aura of security and balance, with the towering figure symbolizing protection and guidance. The crossed arms of the Buddha's torso evoke a sense of serenity and faith, inspiring those who lay eyes upon it. The close-up shot showcases the meticulous carving skills that went into creating this awe-inspiring deity out of granite. The vibrant colors add depth to the photograph while highlighting every intricacy etched onto the stone surface. As one explores this historical landmark, they are transported back in time to witness the spiritualism and belief system embedded within Sri Lankan culture. This Buddhist site serves as both a tourist attraction and a place for religious contemplation. Gavin Hellier's photography perfectly captures not only the physical beauty but also the profound spirituality that emanates from this ancient civilisation. It is through images like these that we can appreciate and preserve our world's diverse history and heritage for generations to come.
