EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the awe-inspiring Statue of Avalokitesvara, a magnificent 20-meter tall sculpture located within the Buddhist monastery of Gandan Monastery in Ulan Bator, Mongolia. As one gazes at this remarkable piece of art, they are immediately drawn to its towering presence and intricate details. The photograph captures the statue's grandeur against the backdrop of the temple's interior, emphasizing its significance as a place of worship for Buddhists. The low angle view adds to its majestic aura, making it appear even more imposing and powerful. Crafted with meticulous skill, this golden sculpture represents Avalokitesvara, a bodhisattva revered in Buddhism for their compassion and mercy towards all living beings. Its serene expression evokes a sense of tranquility and spiritual enlightenment. Located in the heartland of Central Asia, Ulaanbaatar is not only Mongolia's capital but also an important center for Buddhist practices. The Gandan Monastery stands as a testament to Mongolian devotion to Buddhism and serves as a sanctuary where believers can seek solace and connect with their faith. Bruno Morandi/Robert Harding has masterfully captured this extraordinary moment through his lens. This print invites viewers on an enchanting visual journey into the world of Asian spirituality while showcasing both the artistic brilliance behind such sculptures and Mongolia's rich cultural heritage.
