EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the delicate balance between nature and ancient civilization. The image showcases the mesmerizing Kakku Buddhist Ruins in Shan State, Myanmar, where over two thousand brick and laterite stupas stand as a testament to a bygone era. Some of these remarkable structures date back to the 12th century, exuding an air of mystery and historical significance. However, what truly steals the spotlight in this photograph is the tree roots that have intertwined with the ancient stupas over time. These roots serve as a poignant reminder of nature's relentless force and its ability to both nurture and erode human creations. As they snake their way through crevices and cracks, they simultaneously add an ethereal beauty while causing damage to these architectural marvels. The dense foliage surrounding the ruins creates a vivid contrast against the weathered bricks, adding depth and vibrancy to this scene frozen in time. It transports viewers into a world where past meets present - where contemporary life coexists harmoniously with remnants of an old civilization. Jane Sweeney/Robert Harding's skillful photography perfectly encapsulates not only the history but also the allure of this travel destination in Southeast Asia. Through her lens, we are invited to explore this archaeological site brimming with cultural heritage while contemplating our place within nature's grand design.
