EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Pring Samrang, a woman delicately releases a flock of birds in front of the majestic Royal Palace during Vesak Bochea Day in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. The image beautifully encapsulates the essence of freedom and spirituality as it pays homage to the birth, enlightenment, and death of Buddha. The woman's hand reaches out towards the sky with grace and reverence, adorned with intricate jewellery that adds an element of elegance to the scene. Her unrecognisable figure symbolizes every individual who partakes in this Hindu religious ceremony, making it a collective act of devotion. The close-up shot highlights not only her hand but also a stunning ring she wears—a subtle reminder that even small gestures can hold great significance. Against the backdrop of clear blue skies, these birds become messengers carrying prayers and wishes into the heavens above. This photograph showcases creative use of composition by focusing on body parts while leaving ample copy space for contemplation. It is a powerful representation of traditional customs intertwined with religion—a visual testament to how faith can bring people together from all walks of life. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded that moments like these transcend time and place—reminding us to find solace in our beliefs while embracing unity among humanity.
