EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of spirituality and ancient traditions at Sri Maha Bodhi, Mahavihara in Anuradhapura, Sri Lanka. The image showcases a large group of prayer incense sticks emitting delicate smoke against the backdrop of this historical Buddhist monastery. The rich history and significance of this sacred place are palpable through the lens. As one gazes upon this vertical composition, they are transported to a bygone era where religion played a vital role in people's lives. The vibrant colors add depth to the scene, evoking a sense of reverence and awe. Sri Maha Bodhi holds immense importance as it is believed to be the oldest living tree with its roots tracing back over 2,000 years. This national landmark serves as a place of worship for countless devotees who come here seeking solace and enlightenment. The absence of people in this photograph allows viewers to focus solely on the spiritual offerings made through these incense sticks. Each stick represents prayers whispered into thin air, carrying hopes and aspirations towards higher realms. Matthew Williams-Ellis/Robert Harding has masterfully captured not just an image but also an entire narrative within this single frame. Through his lens, we witness the fusion between history, religion, and culture that defines Sri Lankan society even today.
