EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of ancient history and cultural significance in one frame. In front of the majestic main temple of Candi Sukuh, a flat-backed turtle dias stands as a symbol of reverence and connection to a fertility cult that once thrived on the slopes of Gunung Lawu, east of Solo, on the island of Java in Indonesia. The image showcases an outdoor scene with remnants of a past civilization, where ruins blend harmoniously with nature's vibrant colors. The close-up shot allows us to appreciate the intricate stone carvings and architectural details that have stood the test of time. As we delve into this contemporary photograph by Jane Sweeney/Robert Harding, we are transported to Southeast Asia, specifically Indonesia. This travel destination holds immense historical value and offers glimpses into its rich heritage through archaeological sites like Candi Sukuh. The horizontal composition emphasizes both the grandeur of the temple structure and its surroundings. It invites us to explore further into Indonesian culture while highlighting South East Asia's allure as a fascinating region worth exploring. In this color image, every element tells a story - from the preceding civilizations that left their mark on these sacred grounds to our own journey through time as we marvel at this remarkable piece captured by skilled photography.
