EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Pring Samrang, we witness a serene moment during Vesak Bochea Day on the outskirts of Phnom Penh, Cambodia. The image showcases an unrecognizable woman as she delicately burns a candle at a pagoda to honor the birth, enlightenment, and death of Buddha. The close-up shot allows us to appreciate the intricate details of her hand holding the flame against the backdrop of the pagoda's exterior. The creative use of depth of field adds an atmospheric touch to the composition, emphasizing both the intensity and tranquility that emanate from this act of faith. As multiple candles burn in formation around her, it becomes evident that this celebration is not just about one person but rather a collective expression of devotion. The copy space surrounding them invites contemplation and reflection on their religious traditions. The photograph captures more than just fire; it encapsulates tradition, spirituality, and reverence for Buddhism. It reminds us that even in our modern world, ancient rituals continue to be practiced with fervor and dedication. Through his lens, Pring Samrang has managed to freeze time and immortalize a fleeting moment where faith takes shape through flickering flames. This powerful image serves as a reminder that amidst our busy lives, there are moments when we can find solace in honoring something greater than ourselves.
