EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of the Temple of San Simon, also known as Maximon, Patron Saint of Gamblers and Drunks in San Andres Itzapa, Guatemala. The temple stands tall with its intricate architecture and vibrant colors, showcasing a fusion of Christianity and local traditions. In this rear view shot, we see an altar adorned with flowers, creating a serene atmosphere for worshipers who come to pay their respects. A single figure is captured in the frame - a man standing before the temple's gate. His presence adds depth to the image as he engages in his personal connection with Maximon. The photograph beautifully showcases the rich cultural heritage that thrives within this place of worship. The statue inside represents Maximon himself - a human representation revered by many for his association with gamblers and drunks. This unique blend of spirituality reflects the diverse beliefs found throughout Central America. Wendy Connett/Robert Harding's photography skillfully captures not only the physical aspects but also conveys an emotional narrative through this vertical composition. As viewers immerse themselves in this colorful scene, they are transported to another world where faith intertwines with tradition. This print serves as a visual testament to both religious devotion and cultural identity found within Guatemala's enchanting landscapes.
