EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Water-moon Avalokiteshvara, a remarkable artwork from the first half of the 14th century. Created during the Goryeo dynasty in Korea, this hanging scroll embodies the rich heritage of art and spirituality. The unknown creator skillfully employed ink and color on silk to depict this divine figure. Intriguingly, Water-moon Avalokiteshvara is a representation of Guanyin or Kuan Yin, a revered bodhisattva known as the goddess of compassion in Buddhism. This female deity exudes an aura of serenity and grace as she stands at the water's edge with her feet gently touching its surface. The artist masterfully captures her compassionate nature through delicate brushstrokes that bring out every intricate detail. The celestial backdrop adds another layer of symbolism to this piece. With a lunar theme, it alludes to both darkness and illumination within our world and beyond. As we gaze upon this ethereal image, we are reminded not only of religious devotion but also scientific wonders such as astronomy and our place in the solar system. Preserved by The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this photograph print allows us to appreciate and contemplate an ancient masterpiece that transcends time. It serves as a testament to humanity's enduring fascination with spirituality, artistry, and our eternal quest for compassion in an ever-changing world.
