In the timeless atmosphere of Angkor Wat, the statues carved in stone seem to defy time. Set in stone for centuries, they tell stories of divinities, kings and ancestral beliefs. In black and white, these sculptures take on an even more mystical dimension, highlighting the play of light and shadow on their finely chiselled features.
Each face, each sculpted relief bears witness to the exceptional skill of Khmer craftsmen. The serene expressions of the statues give an impression of wisdom and eternity. Some faces are marked by the erosion of time, adding a touch of fragility to their imposing beauty.
The absence of colour intensifies the emotion of the place: the contrast between the dark stone and the daylight creates an almost unreal atmosphere. To walk through Angkor Wat is to enter a sanctuary where the past meets the present. These black-and-white sculptures reveal a Cambodia steeped in spirituality and history, where every sculpted detail evokes the grandeur of a civilisation that has disappeared but never been forgotten.
