The sun was descending when he found them—two apsaras leaning toward each other in the Cruciform Galleries of Angkor Wat, aglow with the warmth of a dying day. Their embrace was sculptural, eternal. One smiled.
The air carried chants from deeper in the temple. Around them: movement. But here, between these figures, was stillness. Their closeness held a sensuality not of the body, but of breath—a bond shaped in silence, lit from within.
Lucas Varro returned again and again, sketching, watching, waiting. The image was captured on large-format black-and-white film, using long exposure and classical chiaroscuro techniques. Later, in quiet devotion, he hand-toned the print in gold to mirror the light he could not forget.
This signed and numbered edition of 25 + 2 Artist’s Proofs is printed on museum-grade Hahnemühle Bamboo paper. Each print is a threshold of presence, crafted to embody sacred intimacy and reincarnational memory.
A caress that lingers longer than time.
