EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of tranquility and spirituality through a meditating monk sculpture from Candi Plaosan. Created by the Indonesian School in the 9th century, this remarkable piece stands at an impressive height of 106 cm. The temple complex itself is located in Prambanan district, Central Java, dating back to ancient times. The meditating monk statue showcases exquisite craftsmanship on andesite stone, depicting a male figure seated in the lotus position. With closed eyes and hands resting gently on his lap, the monk emanates a serene aura that invites viewers to embrace stillness and inner peace. The intricate carving details bring life to every curve and contour of this religious artwork. Its significance lies not only in its aesthetic appeal but also as a symbol of Buddhist meditation practices. As one gazes upon this statue, it evokes feelings of calmness and introspection. Photographed by Dirk Bakker with utmost precision, this image beautifully captures the essence of this timeless masterpiece. Preserved within a private collection, it serves as a reminder of Indonesia's rich cultural heritage. This photograph is more than just an artistic representation; it serves as an invitation for viewers to embark on their own journey towards self-discovery and enlightenment through meditation.
