EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by Petr Josek Snr, the beauty of nature and human creativity converge on a frozen pond in Dobra Voda, near the enchanting city of Horice in the Czech Republic. The image transports us to a serene winter wonderland where ice sculptures take center stage against an open space backdrop. The intricate ice sculptures, skillfully crafted by unknown hands, stand proudly on the frozen pond. Each sculpture is a testament to human ingenuity and artistic expression. Among them, a Christian cross emerges as a symbol of faith and worship, evoking feelings of reverence and spirituality. The composition is enhanced by the vastness of the sky mirrored in the calm waters beneath it. The horizon line stretches infinitely into the distance, creating a sense of tranquility and serenity that only winter landscapes can offer. Real people can be seen admiring these awe-inspiring creations, their presence adding depth to this snapshot of life amidst icy splendor. A lone tree stands tall nearby, its branches adorned with frosty jewels that glisten under daylight's embrace. This photograph captures not only the magic of winter but also celebrates traditional values and religious devotion within Czech society. It serves as a reminder that even in freezing temperatures, human imagination knows no bounds when it comes to transforming nature's elements into breathtaking works of art.
