This photo focuses on the imposing Lady Buddha, a 67-metre-high statue located at the Linh Ung pagoda on the Son Tra Peninsula in Da Nang, Vietnam. The photo was taken from a low vantage point, further enhancing the statue's grandeur. Her gentle gaze, gracious hand gesture and the vase of holy water in her hand symbolise compassion, protection and peace.
The serene atmosphere is enhanced by the soft, diffuse daylight and the sculpture's light marble colour, which contrasts beautifully with the grey sky. The fine details in her robe and jewellery make this not only a religious symbol, but also a beautiful work of art. This place attracts thousands of visitors every year who come for contemplation, prayer or simply the beauty of the place.
The picture is an ode to spirituality and simplicity. It fits perfectly into a modern or minimalist interior, where it exudes both tranquillity and strength. Ideal for lovers of Asian culture, travel photography or meaningful art on the wall. This print invites reflection and brings some of the mysticism and calm of Vietnam into your home - a visual break in a world full of stimuli.
