EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the serene beauty of white lanterns honoring the dead in Seoul, South Korea. Against a backdrop of Asian culture and tradition, these lanterns symbolize remembrance and honor for those who have passed away. The image showcases a large group of objects hanging gracefully in the outdoors, creating a mesmerizing display that evokes both tranquility and reverence. In this photograph, we see a woman standing underneath the delicate umbrella of one such lantern. Her black hair cascades down her back as she stands with her head slightly bowed, lost in deep contemplation. The focus on her backside emphasizes the solemnity of the moment while highlighting her Asian ethnicity. The composition is beautifully framed to capture not only the woman but also the vast array of lanterns behind her. Each individual light represents a life remembered and cherished, creating an ethereal glow that illuminates both past and present. As viewers, we are invited to witness this poignant scene from behind, allowing us to feel connected to this ancient ritual while respecting its sacred nature. Through Godong/Robert Harding's skillful photography, we are transported to Seoul's streets where death is honored with grace and dignity – reminding us all of our shared humanity and the importance of remembering those who came before us.
