EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intensity and devotion of a Shiite Muslim boy as he fearlessly runs on burning charcoals during the Ashura religious festival. The image, taken in Yangon in November 2012, showcases the profound rituals practiced by Shiite mourners to commemorate the death anniversary of Imam Hussein. In this mesmerizing shot, we see an unrecognizable worshipper running through flames with an abundance of prayer and movement captured within the frame. The elevated view allows us to witness the beautiful illumination created by the burning charcoal beneath his feet. Despite being surrounded by fire and potential danger, there is a sense of mystery and atmospheric beauty that emanates from this powerful display of faith. The red-hot coals symbolize both destruction and purification as they test the limits of human endurance. This traditional ritual highlights not only the deep-rooted religious beliefs but also serves as a reminder of the power nature holds over mankind. Minzayar Minzayar's skillful composition brings out every detail in this picturesque scene, showcasing traditional clothes worn by participants against a dark night backdrop. It is through images like these that we gain insight into diverse cultural practices around the world while appreciating their significance within their respective religions.
