EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo, we see a close-up view of a woman's hand delicately drying incense in preparation for Tet, the traditional Vietnamese Lunar New Year festival. The image was captured in Hong Chau village, just outside Hanoi, Vietnam on February 8th, 2018 by photographer Nguyen Huy Kham. The composition is both creative and visually striking as it focuses on the geometrical shapes of the incense sticks against an out-of-focus background. The depth of field adds a sense of mystery to the scene while emphasizing the importance of this ritualistic act. Tet is a time when people come together to celebrate their culture and traditions. This particular moment showcases one aspect of that celebration - the meticulous preparation required before welcoming in the new year. As we observe this unrecognizable woman's hand carefully tending to each stick, we are reminded of the significance placed on honoring ancestors and seeking good fortune for the year ahead. The multiple incense sticks arranged in a round shape symbolize unity and harmony within Vietnamese society during this festive period. From above, we gain an intimate perspective into this age-old practice that has been passed down through generations. Nguyen Huy Kham's photograph captures not only a beautiful visual but also provides us with insight into Vietnamese customs and rituals surrounding Tet – truly showcasing how photography can transport us into different cultures and traditions.
