EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of spirituality and cultural heritage in Ethiopia. The portrait showcases a distinguished man, believed to be a priest from the Narga Selassie Christian church, located on the enchanting island of Dek in Lake Tana, Gondar region. The man's weathered face reflects wisdom and devotion as he holds a precious treasure - a crucifix symbolizing Christianity. His firm grip on this indigenous artifact reveals his deep connection to his faith and its significance within Ethiopian culture. Dressed in traditional clothing, this clergyman stands proudly against the backdrop of Africa's breathtaking landscapes. With an intense gaze directed towards the camera, he invites us to explore his world filled with spiritualism and religious traditions. As we delve into this photograph, we are transported to Eastern Africa where religion plays an integral role in people's lives. This image not only highlights the beauty of Ethiopian culture but also serves as a reminder of the rich history that has shaped this nation. Photographer Bruno Barbier skillfully captures both the physical presence and spiritual aura emanating from this remarkable individual. Through Robert Harding's lens, we witness a moment frozen in time - one that encapsulates Ethiopia's profound spirituality and unwavering devotion to their religious beliefs. This evocative portrait is not just an image; it is an invitation for viewers to embark on their own journey through Ethiopia's vibrant tapestry of tradition, faith, and soul-stirring landscapes.
