EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of spirituality and tradition in Santiago Atitlan, a small village nestled on the shores of Lake Atitlan in Guatemala. The image showcases a row of intricately dressed saints standing proudly inside a local church, their handmade clothes reflecting the rich cultural heritage of this indigenous community. The vibrant blue hues dominate the scene, symbolizing devotion and faith within Christianity. Each saint is adorned with unique garments, meticulously crafted by skilled artisans using traditional techniques passed down through generations. Their colorful attire pays homage to the diverse customs and beliefs that thrive in this region. The cross at the center serves as a powerful reminder of Christ's sacrifice and acts as a focal point for worshipers who gather here seeking solace and spiritual guidance. The tranquil atmosphere exudes an aura of reverence, inviting visitors to pause and reflect upon their own beliefs. Wendy Connett/Robert Harding's photography beautifully captures this moment frozen in time - an intimate glimpse into daily life within Santiago Atitlan's sacred walls. This vertical composition allows us to appreciate both the exquisite craftsmanship behind each statue and their collective presence within this holy space. As we gaze upon these statues devoid of human representation, we are reminded that faith transcends individuality; it unites communities under one shared belief system. This photograph invites us to explore not only Guatemala's natural beauty but also its profound religious traditions that continue to shape its people today.
