EDITORS COMMENTS
In this image, a woman delicately places a candle at a temple in preparation for the vibrant Chinese Lunar New Year celebrations. The photograph, taken by Damir Sagolj in Bangkok's Chinatown on February 9,2013, captures the essence of this auspicious occasion. As the Lunar New Year approaches and the Spring Festival commences on February 10, this moment symbolizes reverence and hope for the upcoming Year of the Snake according to the Chinese zodiac. The flickering flame illuminates her face with an ethereal glow as she pays homage to ancient traditions. The atmosphere is filled with anticipation and excitement as devotees gather at temples across Chinatown to seek blessings for good fortune and prosperity in the coming year. The intricate details of incense coils hanging from above create an enchanting backdrop against which this woman performs her ritual. Her graceful gesture reflects both devotion and respect towards her cultural heritage. It serves as a reminder that amidst modernity, there are still those who hold steadfastly onto their customs and beliefs. Through this powerful image captured by Damir Sagolj, we are transported into a world where spirituality intertwines with tradition during one of China's most significant festivals. It encapsulates not only a single moment but also represents centuries-old customs passed down through generations – bridging past and present while igniting hopes for a prosperous future ahead.
