EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intricate and ornate details of the temple roof at Thian Hock Keng Temple in Chinatown, Singapore. The vibrant colors and elaborate decorations showcase the rich tradition and ancient civilization of South East Asia. The focal point of this image is a legendary dragon, an iconic symbol in Asian mythology, intricately carved into the roof. This mythical creature represents power, strength, and protection in Chinese folklore. Its presence adds a touch of wildness to the otherwise urban landscape surrounding it. The contrast between the embellished temple roof and the high-rise skyscrapers in the background highlights how ancient traditions coexist with modernity in this bustling metropolis. It serves as a reminder that despite rapid development, Singapore has managed to preserve its cultural heritage. As you gaze upon this photograph, you can't help but feel a sense of spirituality emanating from every detail. The figurines and statuettes adorning the rooftop represent different aspects of religious faith and spiritualism deeply rooted in Asian culture. Overall, Amanda Hall/Robert Harding's masterful photography skillfully captures not only an architectural marvel but also tells a story about history, religion, mythologies, customs, and traditions that have shaped Singapore into what it is today.
