EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Buddha head from the early Ayutthaya Period, carved in stone by the Siamese School during the 14th Century. Housed at the Bangkok National Museum in Thailand, this ancient artifact holds immense historical and spiritual significance. The image captures an atmosphere of serenity and tranquility as the smiling Buddha face emerges from shadows, creating a play of light and darkness. The closed eyes exude a sense of enlightenment and inner peace, while the obscured features add an air of mystery to this divine representation. Carved with intricate detail, every line on this statue reflects deep spirituality and devotion. The artist skillfully portrays both calmness and hidden power within this Thai deity's countenance. This artwork symbolizes nirvana - a state of ultimate bliss achieved through Buddhist teachings. The chiaroscuro effect enhances the carving's depth, emphasizing its three-dimensional quality against a backdrop that seems to fade into obscurity. As we gaze upon this masterpiece frozen in time, we are reminded of Ayutthaya's rich cultural heritage as it flourished for over four centuries before its fall in 1767. Through capturing this momentous sculpture with his lens, photographer eLuca Tettoni allows us to appreciate not only its artistic beauty but also its profound spiritual essence. This photograph invites us to contemplate our own journey towards inner peace and enlightenment inspired by Buddhism's timeless wisdom.
