EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, a man is seen holding a candle during a Christmas mass at the Gelora Bung Karno stadium in Jakarta. The image captures the essence of serenity and devotion as approximately a hundred thousand Christians gather for this grand celebration in Jakarta's largest stadium. The low angle view adds depth to the composition, emphasizing the towering urban cityscape that surrounds them. The flame of the candle illuminates his hand, creating a beautiful display of light against the dark night sky. Although unrecognizable, his silhouette represents every individual who has come together to celebrate their faith. The long exposure technique used by Supri enhances the atmosphere of this picturesque scene. The multiple candles held by other people create an enchanting glow in the dark, evoking a sense of warmth and unity among those present. This image showcases not only religious fervor but also highlights nature's role in providing illumination through fire and natural phenomena. It serves as a reminder of how even amidst an electrically powered world, traditional practices like using candles still hold significance. Supri's creative use of lighting captures both beauty in nature and human connection with spirituality. This print truly encapsulates the magic and tranquility experienced during such mass religious celebrations while showcasing Indonesia's rich cultural diversity.
