EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intricate process of painting a statue of the reclining Buddha at the Shwesandaw Pagoda in Pyay (Prome), Myanmar. Inside this historical landmark, two skilled artists can be seen meticulously working on every detail, ensuring that the deity's form is brought to life with vibrant colors and traditional motifs. The image showcases not only their craftsmanship but also highlights the importance of preserving cultural heritage. The security wall and fence surrounding the statue symbolize the protection bestowed upon this sacred site, safeguarding it from any harm or damage. As one artist holds a brush while bending down to reach lower parts, another carefully formulates paint mixtures nearby. Their dedication and precision are evident as they rub and polish every inch of the sculpture, aiming for perfection in their design. In this moment frozen in time by James Strachan/Robert Harding's lens, we witness an age-old tradition being carried out with utmost respect and devotion. The presence of people squatting around them signifies that this work is not just about construction; it is deeply rooted in spirituality and religious beliefs. Through photography like this, we are transported into a world where history intertwines with artistry, travel merges with religion, and culture blends seamlessly with spirituality. It serves as a reminder that these ancient practices continue to thrive in South East Asia today.
