EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print from the 1x Gallery transports us to the enchanting shores of Sanur Bali, where a sacred ritual known as Ngaben takes place. Renowned photographer Gunarto has masterfully captured this poignant moment in time, allowing us to witness the profound cultural significance of this traditional ceremony. The image showcases a mesmerizing scene on Karang Beach, where locals gather to pay their respects and bid farewell to departed loved ones. The composition is nothing short of breathtaking – vibrant hues of orange and gold dance across the sky as smoke billows from intricately designed funeral pyres. The atmosphere is both solemn and serene, evoking a sense of reverence for life's transience. Through his lens, Gunarto skillfully conveys the deep-rooted spirituality that permeates every aspect of Balinese culture. His documentary approach immerses viewers in an authentic experience; we can almost hear the haunting melodies of gamelan music accompanying mournful chants. This print serves as a powerful reminder that art has the ability to transcend boundaries and connect us with diverse cultures around the world. It invites contemplation on themes such as mortality, tradition, and community bonds – universal concepts that resonate with audiences regardless of their background or beliefs. Gunarto's work not only captures fleeting moments but also preserves intangible heritage for generations to come. This photograph stands testament to his talent in capturing raw
