EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported to Youtong village in Hebei province, China. The image showcases a man diligently decorating a government-sanctioned Catholic church just one day before Easter. As he carefully adorns the exterior of the church with vibrant blue, gold, and pink colors, it becomes evident that this place of worship holds immense significance for the local community. The wooden timbers and cross-shaped structure stand out against the backdrop of a clear blue sky, symbolizing unwavering faith and devotion. People from all walks of life gather here to celebrate their shared beliefs in an atmosphere filled with color and joy. The creative use of statues and decorations adds an enchanting touch to this sacred space. With nature's beauty surrounding them - from orange-colored trees to magical weather conditions - it seems as though even the sun is shining brighter on this special holiday. A sign notice hanging nearby reminds us that every stroke of paint contributes to creating a welcoming environment for worshippers. This snapshot captures not only the act of painting and decorating but also highlights how religion brings people together in unity. Through Damir Sagolj's lens, we witness both the physical transformation taking place on these walls as well as the spiritual transformation happening within those who enter its doors. This photograph serves as a testament to resilience, hope, and the power of faith in shaping communities around the world.
