EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Thuparama, an ancient image house located in the Quadrangle of Polonnaruwa, a UNESCO World Heritage Site in Sri Lanka. The North Central Province serves as the backdrop for this remarkable architectural landmark that stands as a testament to the rich history and cultural heritage of Asia. The image house, with its weathered stone ruins and intricate carvings, transports us back in time to an era steeped in antiquity. Against a clear blue sky, this corner of preserved history evokes a sense of awe and wonder. The vibrant colors found within the remains add depth and character to this archaeological site. As we gaze upon this stereotypical representation of Asian culture, we are reminded of the profound influence Buddhism has had on Sri Lankan society. This sacred place exudes tranquility and spirituality while serving as a visual reminder of centuries-old traditions. Ian Trower/Robert Harding's photography skillfully captures every detail, allowing us to appreciate both the grandeur and subtleties present within these ancient ruins. With no people present in the frame, our focus is solely on Thuparama itself - an emblematic symbol from South Asia's past. This stunning print serves not only as a beautiful piece for any art enthusiast but also as a window into another world; one where history comes alive through architecture, religion intertwines with daily life, and cultural preservation takes center stage.
