EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Brian Moser, we are transported to the vibrant and mystical world of Sri Lanka's Punnaccolai Festival. The image showcases a Tamil Oracle named Sothimalar, who is accompanied by her young son as they participate in an ancient ritual. The festival is known for its intense and awe-inspiring rituals, one of which involves trident piercings being inserted through the cheeks. As we gaze at the photo, we witness Sothimalar's unwavering devotion and spiritual strength as she guides her son through this profound experience. The atmosphere surrounding them is filled with deep reverence and fervent prayers echoing throughout the air. The colorful traditional attire worn by both mother and child adds to the visual spectacle, symbolizing their connection to centuries-old customs passed down through generations. Brian Moser skillfully captures not only the physical aspect of this ritual but also manages to convey a sense of emotional intensity within his composition. Through his lens, he invites us to contemplate the power of faith and tradition that continues to shape communities like these in Sri Lanka. This extraordinary photograph serves as a testament to human resilience, cultural heritage, and our universal quest for spirituality. It reminds us that even in our modern world, ancient traditions still hold immense significance for those who seek solace and meaning beyond what meets the eye.
