EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the serene beauty of Isurumuniya, an UNESCO World Heritage Site in Anuradhapura, Sri Lanka. The image showcases a breathtaking display of statues depicting seated, standing, and sleeping Buddha figures. Each statue exudes a sense of tranquility and spiritualism that is deeply rooted in Buddhist beliefs. The intricate stone work and elaborate decorations on these statues are truly awe-inspiring. The close-up shot allows us to appreciate the meticulous craftsmanship involved in creating such ornate carvings. The vibrant colors used in this contemporary design add a touch of liveliness to the scene, enhancing its visual appeal. As we gaze upon this panoramic view, we can't help but be drawn into the peaceful atmosphere within this indoor setting. It's fascinating to see how each figure conveys different postures - sitting or standing - representing various aspects of Buddha's teachings. The presence of only men surrounding these sculptures suggests that this sacred space may have been exclusively reserved for male devotees seeking solace and enlightenment. This cultural insight adds depth to our understanding of Buddhism as practiced in Sri Lanka. Through Bruno Morandi/Robert Harding's skillful photography, we are transported into a world where spirituality intertwines with artistry. This print serves as a reminder of the rich religious heritage found throughout South Asia and invites us to explore further into the depths of Sri Lankan culture and history.
