EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, a wooden cross takes center stage before the re-enactment of the Way of the Cross during a Good Friday procession at the Sanctuary of Kalwaria Piekarska in Piekary Slaskie, Poland. The close-up shot beautifully captures the symbolic essence of Christianity and its deep-rooted beliefs. The exterior setting adds to the solemnity and reverence surrounding this religious ceremony. The wooden cross stands tall, held together by ropes that seem to suspend it in mid-air. Its weathered wood timber tells tales of faith and resilience, while its cross shape serves as a powerful reminder of sacrifice and redemption. This image showcases not only a ritual but also highlights how creative use can transform simple objects into profound symbols. The depth of field draws our attention solely to the cross itself, emphasizing its significance within Christian culture. With no people present in the frame, viewers are invited to contemplate their own beliefs and reflect on their spirituality. The view from above grants us an intimate perspective on this work tool turned sacred artifact amidst paving tiles. As Easter approaches, this photograph encapsulates both the anticipation for resurrection and the somberness associated with Good Friday. It is a visual representation of Semana Santa's rich traditions celebrated around the world. Kacper Pempel's skillful composition captures not just an image but also evokes emotions tied to religion, tradition, and personal introspection – making it truly remarkable.
