EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of ancient Sri Lankan architecture and religious traditions. Standing tall at the entrance of a Buddhist Temple, an ornate Guard Stone Figure commands attention with its intricate details and symbolic significance. Dating back to the 20th century, this stone figure served as a protective element for the temple, warding off evil spirits and safeguarding the sacred space within. In this particular image, we witness a fascinating interaction between man and beast. A mahout, or elephant handler, confidently rides atop his majestic companion at the temple's entrance. The gentle giant stands stoically by his side as they both fulfill their roles in this spiritual setting. The photograph showcases not only the deep-rooted connection between humans and animals but also highlights Buddhism's influence on daily life in Sri Lanka. As one of Asia's oldest religions, Buddhism holds great importance in shaping cultural practices within this island country. Through Mike Dixon's lens, we are transported to another time - a moment frozen in history that encapsulates faith, tradition, occupation, and artistry all in one frame. This evocative portrait invites us to contemplate our own beliefs while appreciating the rich tapestry of Sri Lankan heritage that continues to thrive today.
