EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Sergey Orlov showcases the resilience and resourcefulness of the Chhusang locals in Upper Mustang, Nepal. In a region blessed with breathtaking landscapes and nestled amidst the majestic Himalayas, these native people face the harsh realities of their environment head-on. The image captures a group of villagers diligently rebuilding the stone wall around their village using appropriate stones sourced from the Kali Gandaki riverbed. With unwavering determination, they hurl rocks into place, renewing and restoring their protective barrier against nature's forces. The rugged terrain and rocky scenery serve as a constant reminder of both the beauty and challenges that this community faces. The wide valley stretches out before them, while mountains peak in all directions, creating an awe-inspiring backdrop for their daily lives. In this snapshot frozen in time, we witness not only physical labor but also a deep connection between man and nature. These citizens understand that to thrive in such an unforgiving climate, they must work harmoniously with their surroundings. As we observe this scene unfold horizontally across our vision, it serves as a powerful metaphor for perseverance and adaptability. It reminds us that even in remote wilderness areas like Upper Mustang, human ingenuity can overcome any obstacle when faced with determination and unity. Sergey Orlov's photograph encapsulates both the challenges faced by these Nepalese villagers as well as their indomitable spirit to rebuild what has been lost – one stone at a time.
