Through a subtle interplay of light and shadow, the ruins of Banteay, in the heart of Angkor, reveal an atmosphere imbued with mystery and grandeur. In black and white, the smallest details of the sculptures and time-worn stones take on a striking depth, underlining the centuries-old history of this Khmer site. The overgrown vegetation and stone structures blend into a timeless setting, where every crack and relief tells the story of a bygone era. This monochrome approach magnifies the texture of the temples and reinforces the spiritual dimension of this emblematic site. The absence of colour refocuses the eye on the essential: the complex architecture, the play of light that filters through the stones, and the strange serenity that emanates from them. To stroll among these remains in this contrasting light is to feel the very soul of Angkor, between contemplation and respect.
