EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Trevor Page from EyeUbiquitous, we are transported to the heart of China's Jiangsu province during the Qingming Festival. The festival holds great significance as it is a time when Chinese people pay homage to their ancestors and deceased family members. The image showcases a poignant ritual where individuals gather at gravesites or burial grounds to honor their loved ones. To make offerings, they present fake banknotes and gold ingots, symbolizing wealth and prosperity in the afterlife. However, due to safety regulations prohibiting burning within most cemeteries, these offerings find solace in the gutter just outside. As flames dance amidst plastic bags filled with these symbolic treasures, one cannot help but feel moved by the devotion displayed by those participating in this ancient tradition. Men and women alike stand solemnly around the fire, surrounded by trees that bear witness to generations past. This photograph serves as a powerful reminder of our connection to our roots and how we choose to honor those who came before us. It encapsulates both reverence for departed souls and an enduring sense of familial ties that transcend time itself. Through Trevor Page's lens, we are granted a glimpse into this sacred moment where spirits intertwine with earthly existence – a testament to the rich cultural heritage found within China's vibrant tapestry.
