We're so excited to announce our next exhibition of photographs by Richard Murai:
Artist's Statement:
As light moves, shadows shift
and practitioners of an ancient faith celebrate, pray and reflect amidst sacred
symbols, iconography and temple architecture. The religious complex provide
revered spaces for prayer and devotion, and timeworn surfaces of wood, stone,
metal and cloth offer temporal constancy and ancestral connections for
generations of devotees, and a lush visual landscape for the visitor.
These photographs are
selections from my travels in Asia that reveal visual artifacts and rituals from
a golden age as people seek to reconcile and preserve ancient traditions amidst conflicting modern values. The images comprise an ongoing
voyage of discovery and exploration that documents sacred spaces and evidence
of spiritual devotion, past and present, within unique and distinctive
cultures.
