In the sanctuary of a crumbling temple, where light falls like memory and silence deepens like breath, Grace in the Stone reveals the sacred within the stillness.
At Preah Khan Temple, the air is thick with reverence—roots curling through thresholds, incense ghosts clinging to stone, and time itself softened by the breath of centuries. In this intimate corner of Angkor, a weather-worn apsara gazes through the veil of time, her form eroded by rain and reverence alike, yet glowing with quiet dignity.
For artist Lucas Varro, this was not a subject, but a presence. Standing in the hush of morning light, he felt not the impulse to capture, but to listen. The moment—fragile, luminous—was less a composition than a communion.
Photographed on medium format black-and-white film using a long exposure, the image draws upon natural light alone—allowing shadow and form to unfold in slow reverence. Later, in the solitude of the darkroom, the artist hand-toned each print with painterly precision, coaxing warmth from the silver and depth from the silence. This process is not merely technical—it is devotional, shaped by touch and memory.
Each print is crafted on museum-grade, archival fine art paper to preserve its tonal richness and tactile integrity. This edition is strictly limited to 25 + 2 Artist’s Proofs, created for those who seek not only visual excellence, but spiritual presence in their collections.
We invite you to experience Grace in the Stone—to live with its quiet gravity, and let it become a vessel of stillness within your curated world.
