EDITORS COMMENTS
In the heart of Jakarta, Indonesia, renowned photographer Hari Sulistiawan captures a moment of profound introspection in his thought-provoking portrait, "Longing at the City Gate." The image invites viewers to ponder the complexities of human emotion as a woman stands before a grand, ornate door, her gaze fixed on the distant cityscape beyond. The vibrant, lush flora surrounding her adds a contrasting element to the urban backdrop, with the rich hues of the flowers and plants juxtaposed against the gray tones of the buildings and cityscape. The woman's expression conveys a sense of longing and loneliness, as if she is yearning for a connection to the world beyond the confines of her immediate surroundings. The conceptual nature of the portrait is further emphasized by the use of a studio setting, with the door serving as an entrance to another world, both figurative and literal. The door, like a gateway to the unknown, represents the threshold between the familiar and the unfamiliar, the known and the unknown. The cityscape in the background, with its towering buildings and urban landscape, serves as a reminder of the hustle and bustle of everyday life, the constant motion and activity that can often leave one feeling disconnected and longing for a moment of stillness and reflection. This evocative image invites viewers to reflect on their own experiences of longing and the ways in which the natural world, even in the midst of a bustling city, can provide a source of comfort and solace. Through his masterful use of composition, lighting, and emotion, Hari Sulistiawan has created a powerful and enduring work of art that speaks to the human condition and the universal desire for connection and understanding.
