EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and energetic print captures the essence of Songkran, the Thai New Year celebration. Taken in Chiang Mai, Thailand, during the famous Water Festival, it showcases a group of people joyfully throwing water outside from a van. The image is filled with color and excitement as both males and females of different ages come together to celebrate this traditional festival. The photograph perfectly encapsulates the spirit of Songkran - a time when people gather to welcome the new year by engaging in playful water fights. It highlights the dynamic atmosphere as individuals hurl water at each other while riding on a pick-up truck through an urban location. The obscured faces add an element of mystery, allowing viewers to focus on the action rather than specific individuals. From adolescents to adults, everyone participates enthusiastically in this festive custom that holds great significance in Thai culture. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported to Southeast Asia where traditions blend seamlessly with contemporary celebrations. The medium group of people depicted symbolizes unity and community spirit amidst all the fun-filled chaos. Alain Evrard/Robert Harding's skillful photography has beautifully captured not just a moment but also an entire cultural experience that defines Songkran - a truly unforgettable celebration unique to Thailand.
