EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, the inner dome of the Basilica of Loyola takes center stage. Built around the birthplace of St. Ignatius of Loyola, founder of the Jesuits, this magnificent structure emanates a sense of serenity and spirituality. The photographer's creative use of a mirror inside the church adds an element of surrealism to the image. The reflection in the mirror showcases intricate details and symmetry that make this basilica truly awe-inspiring. The contrast between the yellow hues on the floor and the shine from above creates a mesmerizing visual effect. With no people present, one can fully appreciate the temple's grandeur and contemplate its significance. The empty bench invites visitors to sit down and immerse themselves in contemplation while admiring this architectural marvel. The depth of field allows for every minute detail to be captured with precision, making it feel as if we are standing right there within these sacred walls. As our gaze is drawn upwards towards the dome, it resembles a celestial constellation floating effortlessly above us. This close-up shot reveals not only beauty but also serves as a reminder of faith and devotion that has stood strong throughout history. Vincent West's photograph captures more than just an interior; it encapsulates centuries worth of religious heritage in one frame—a testament to human creativity and spiritual transcendence.
