Before sun-rise, the towers of Angkor Wat do not rise; they are revealed—drawn upward by the slow brightening of cloud even as their twin silhouettes deepen upon the lotus pond.  Lucas Varro stands motionless at water’s edge, camera poised, breath folded into the larger stillness.  The long exposure that follows gathers cloud-drift, palm murmur, and stone prayer into one continuous filament of time.

Captured on 8 × 10 black-and-white negative, the scene moves next into the dim sanctuary of the studio.  There, classical chiaroscuro and hand-toning transform technique into offering: shadows tempered like incense smoke, highlights cooled to the quiet of morning marble.  Printed on warm-toned Hahnemühle Bamboo, the image carries the tactile memory of that predawn air.

Curatorially, Sacred Reflection functions as the axis mundi within the Spirit of Angkor series—a visible hinge where ascent meets descent, where Mount Meru’s symbolism and its water-borne echo form a mandala of unity.  The print’s symmetry invites meditative regard: to gaze is to be momentarily suspended between heaven’s unfolding and earth’s recall.

For collectors, rarity intertwines with devotion.  The edition is limited to 25 archival pigment prints plus 2 Artist’s Proofs, each signed and numbered on the border recto and accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity.  Acquiring the piece is less possession than guardianship of a stillness that will not repeat.  Place it where dawn’s hush is welcome, and the mirror of quiet will remain.

Between one breath and the next, the world holds its pulse in silence.
Here, between temples, devotion hums without voice—light becoming memory, memory becoming air.
Step softly into the space where sound has already bowed,
and feel the sacred linger in what remains unspoken.

Hands of the Sculptor — The Craft as Meditation

1 min read

In the hush of the galleries, the sculptor listens rather than strikes.
Each breath, each measured blow, opens silence a little further.
Unfinished reliefs reveal the moment when mastery becomes meditation—
when patience itself is carved into being,
and the dust that falls at a mason’s feet becomes the residue of prayer.
