EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the serene beauty of the Bathing Pool (Kumara Pokuna) located within Parakramabahu's Royal Palace in Polonnaruwa, Sri Lanka. As a UNESCO World Heritage Site and an integral part of the Cultural Triangle, this ancient palace holds immense historical significance. The image showcases the remarkable architecture and intricate design that characterizes this archaeological wonder. The ornate stone carvings surrounding the pool reflect the rich cultural heritage of Sri Lanka, while also serving as a testament to its royal past. The lush greenery surrounding the pool adds to its ethereal charm, creating a tranquil oasis amidst a bustling world. Buddhism plays an essential role in Sri Lankan culture, and this site serves as both a place of worship and national landmark. It is fascinating to witness how religion intertwines with history at this sacred location. Photographers Matthew Williams-Ellis and Robert Harding have expertly captured every detail in their horizontal composition. Their lens has immortalized not only the physical features but also the essence of time itself - transporting viewers back to 12th-century Sri Lanka. This print is more than just an image; it is a gateway into another era. It invites us to explore our fascination with royalty, archaeology, and spirituality all at once. Whether displayed in homes or galleries around the world, it serves as a reminder of humanity's enduring connection with our past and our collective desire for preservation.
