EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Navesh Chitrakar, a woman gracefully ascends the stairs leading to a temple in Bhaktapur, Nepal. The image, taken on January 8,2012, showcases the deep devotion and faith of this worshipper as she embarks on her spiritual journey. The woman remains unrecognizable from behind, allowing viewers to focus solely on the scene's powerful symbolism. The temple's exterior is adorned with intricate sculptures and statues that represent centuries-old traditions and Nepali religious beliefs. These creative uses of sculpture beautifully complement the woman's purposeful climb up the stairs. As we witness this solitary figure immersed in her act of worship, it serves as a reminder of the profound connection between people and their spirituality. With only one person visible in the frame, there is ample copy space for contemplation and reflection. Chitrakar skillfully captures both the physicality of climbing stairs and its metaphorical significance within religious practices. This photograph not only documents an individual moment but also encapsulates a universal experience shared by worshippers worldwide - ascending towards enlightenment through acts of devotion. Through his lens, Chitrakar invites us to appreciate both the traditional aspects of religion and its enduring relevance in contemporary society. This image stands as a testament to humanity's unwavering quest for meaning beyond ourselves – an eternal pursuit that transcends time and place.
