EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported to the entrance of the unfinished Pahtodawgyi pagoda in Mingun, Mandalay. Standing proudly at the threshold are two novice monks, their youthful faces illuminated by a sense of serenity and devotion. The Pagoda itself is famous for its prominent crack caused by an earthquake that shook Myanmar back in 1839. The image captures the essence of Buddhism, as these young boys clad in traditional robes symbolize purity and spiritual growth. With umbrellas shielding them from the sun's rays, they stand against a backdrop of ancient architecture that exudes both grandeur and history. As our gaze wanders through this historical place, we can't help but marvel at the intricate details adorning every inch of this sacred structure. The pagoda stands tall as a testament to human resilience and unwavering faith despite its incomplete state. This photograph not only showcases the beauty of South East Asian culture but also invites us to reflect on our own spirituality. It serves as a reminder that even amidst imperfections and cracks in life, there is still room for growth and enlightenment. Jan Miracky skillfully captures this moment frozen in time with his lens, allowing us to immerse ourselves in the mystique surrounding these two novice monks at one of Myanmar's most revered religious sites.
