EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Isurumuniya Vihara, a Buddhist cave temple nestled in the Cultural Triangle of Anuradhapura, Sri Lanka. The image showcases a full-length statue of Buddha sitting serenely amidst an array of vibrant flowers, creating a striking contrast against the ancient white walls of the temple. Steeped in history and spirituality, Isurumuniya Vihara stands as a testament to Sri Lankan culture and its deep-rooted connection with Buddhism. Dating back to the 5th century, this sacred place of worship exudes an aura that transcends time. The differential focus employed by photographers Matthew Williams-Ellis and Robert Harding adds depth and intrigue to this vertical composition. By skillfully blurring certain elements while keeping others sharp, they draw attention to the male likeness of Buddha with remarkable artistry. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported back in time to an era where devotion and reverence were paramount. With no people present in the frame, we can fully immerse ourselves in contemplation within these hallowed grounds. Isurumuniya Vihara invites us to explore not only its physical beauty but also our own spiritual journey. It serves as a reminder that even amidst our modern lives, there is solace and wisdom waiting for those who seek it within these ancient walls.
