Buddhism Buddhist China Offering Spiritual Life

23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame

FSC real wood frame with double mounted 16x12 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 23x19 inches (584x482mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Barbara Castello, we are transported to the serene and mystical Kun Iam temple in China. The image showcases a profound spiritual practice deeply rooted in Buddhism - the act of making paper offerings for the departed souls. As we gaze upon the scene, our senses are immediately awakened by the vibrant colors and intricate details of these delicate paper creations. Each offering represents a heartfelt gesture of reverence and remembrance towards loved ones who have passed on, symbolizing an unbroken connection between this world and the realm beyond. The atmosphere within the temple is palpable with devotion as worshippers engage in their sacred rituals. The air is filled with prayers whispered softly, mingling with fragrant incense that permeates every corner of this hallowed space. This photograph not only captures a moment frozen in time but also serves as a powerful reminder of humanity's unwavering faith and spirituality. It reminds us that religion transcends borders and cultures, uniting people from all walks of life under one common belief system. Barbara Castello's lens has beautifully encapsulated both the physical beauty of this ancient temple and its spiritual significance to those who seek solace within its walls. Through her lens, we witness a glimpse into a world where devotion meets artistry, where faith intertwines with tradition – ultimately reminding us that even in death, love endures through these humble offerings made at Kun Iam temple.
