EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "An ovoo, traditional place of worship in the middle of the Mongolian countryside" transports viewers to the vast and remote landscapes of Mongolia. The image showcases an ovoo, a sacred site deeply rooted in Mongolian culture and tradition. Located amidst a barren wilderness, this religious building stands as a testament to the country's rich heritage. The photographer, Frederic Courbet, skillfully captures the essence of this typically Mongolian scene with his vibrant use of color. The multi-colored flags adorning the ovoo create a striking contrast against the sandy expanse and rugged mountain range in the background. These colorful ribbons fluttering in the wind add an element of spirituality to this sacred space. The ovoo itself is constructed from rocks carefully stacked upon one another, forming a cairn-like structure that holds great significance for shamanistic and Buddhist practices prevalent in Mongolia. This horizontal image perfectly frames this architectural marvel against its natural surroundings. As we gaze at this photograph, we are transported into an untouched world where ancient traditions still thrive. It serves as a reminder that even amidst modernization and globalization, there are places like these that preserve their cultural identity with pride. Frederic Courbet's lens has beautifully captured not just an image but also emotions tied to faith and reverence found within Mongolia's heartland.
