EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable Christian church of Narga Selassie, nestled on the enchanting island of Dek in Lake Tana, Gondar region, Ethiopia. The image captures the essence of this African spiritual haven with its reed exterior and breathtaking architecture. In this snapshot, we witness a group of dedicated men toiling diligently as they engage in the ancient art of thatching. Their skilled hands meticulously weave together natural materials to create a harmonious blend between man-made structure and nature's beauty. This laborious process is an integral part of maintaining the church's traditional appearance while ensuring its longevity against harsh elements. The scene exudes a sense of tranquility and devotion, reflecting the deep-rooted spirituality that permeates throughout Ethiopian Christianity. As these individuals work tirelessly under the open sky, their commitment to their faith shines through every stroke and gesture. Beyond being a place of worship for locals, this sacred site also beckons travelers from far and wide who seek solace in its serene surroundings. Its location on Lake Tana adds an extra layer of allure as visitors can experience not only religious enlightenment but also immerse themselves in Ethiopia's rich cultural heritage. Through Bruno Barbier/Robert Harding's lens, this powerful photograph transports us to Eastern Africa where religion intertwines seamlessly with everyday life – reminding us that spirituality knows no boundaries or limitations.
