EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the enchanting interior of Kebran Gabriel monastery, nestled on the shores of Lake Tana in Ethiopia. The image showcases the remarkable fusion of contemporary and traditional elements found within Ethiopian churches. As one's eyes wander across the frame, they are immediately drawn to a vibrant mural adorning the wall. The mural depicts an intricate battle between good and evil, with angels and demons engaged in a timeless struggle. This powerful representation reflects the deep-rooted Christian beliefs that permeate Ethiopian culture. The meticulous attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke, showcasing the immense talent and dedication of local artists. The architecture itself is awe-inspiring, with high vaulted ceilings reaching towards heaven and ornate pillars supporting this sacred space. Soft rays of sunlight filter through stained glass windows, casting ethereal hues upon worshippers who find solace within these hallowed walls. As one gazes at this photograph, it becomes apparent that this place transcends mere physicality; it exudes spirituality and tranquility. It serves as a testament to Ethiopia's rich religious heritage while inviting visitors from around the world to immerse themselves in its beauty. Peter Groenendijk/Robert Harding has masterfully captured not only an architectural marvel but also a glimpse into Ethiopia's soulful connection with faith. This print serves as a reminder that travel can be transformative when we open our hearts to embrace different cultures and spiritual experiences along our journey.
