EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us on a journey to the heart of the Philippines, specifically Luzon Island, where we are transported back in time to witness an ancient burial tradition. The image showcases Opdas Cave, a sacred site nestled within the Cordillera Mountains in Benguet Province. As we gaze upon this somber scene, our eyes are drawn to the mass burial cave filled with skulls and bones that have weathered over 500-1000 years. These remains serve as a poignant memorial to those who came before us, preserving their memory and cultural heritage. The atmosphere surrounding this ancient grave is one of reverence and awe. It reminds us of the rich history and traditions that shape Asian culture, particularly in Southeast Asia. The significance of this site cannot be understated; it stands as a testament to the deep spiritual connection between life and death held by the people of Kabayan. Through this powerful photograph captured by CK from Discover Images by AWL, we are granted a glimpse into an extraordinary chapter of Philippine history. It serves as a reminder that even in today's fast-paced world, there exist sacred places where time seems suspended - allowing us to reflect on our own mortality while honoring those who came before us.
