EDITORS COMMENTS
Capturing the Serenity: A Majestic Sunset at Bayon Temple, Angkor Thom". This breathtaking print by Artie Photography transports us to the ancient city of Angkor Thom in Siem Reap, Cambodia. The focal point is the magnificent Bayon Temple, a masterpiece of Khmer architecture built during the 12th or 13th century. As we gaze upon this image, our eyes are drawn to the stone towers adorned with intricate carvings and statues. However, it is the multitude of serene and smiling stone faces that truly captivate our attention. These enigmatic visages represent Lokesvara, a bodhisattva associated with compassion in Mahayana Buddhism. The setting sun casts a warm golden glow over the temple complex, creating an ethereal atmosphere. The vibrant colors of dusk beautifully contrast against the weathered stones and add depth to this historical scene. Artie Ng's photography skillfully captures both the grandeur and tranquility of this iconic landmark. Through his lens, we can appreciate not only its architectural beauty but also its spiritual significance within Cambodian culture. This print serves as a reminder of Cambodia's rich history and cultural heritage. It invites us to explore ancient civilizations while marveling at their artistic achievements. Whether displayed in homes or offices, it brings a sense of serenity and wonder into any space.
