EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by YE AUNG THU from Agence France-Presse (AFP), we are drawn into the enchanting world of Myanmar's lifestyle and its people. The image focuses on a child, whose face is adorned with traditional thanaka cream, gazing thoughtfully into the distance. Set against the backdrop of Yangon's outskirts, this close-up portrait offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of Myanmar. The child's eyes, filled with innocence and curiosity, seem to reflect both their individual experiences and those shared by countless others in this vibrant nation. The prominence of thanaka cream on the child's face adds an intriguing element to the photograph. Thanaka has been used for centuries in Myanmar as a natural cosmetic product and sunscreen. Its distinctive yellowish-white color not only protects against harsh sun rays but also holds deep cultural significance within Burmese society. As we observe this young face up close, it becomes evident that every line etched upon it tells a story – stories of resilience, tradition, and hope for a brighter future. This powerful image serves as a reminder that even amidst rapid modernization and globalization, there are still pockets where ancient customs thrive. YE AUNG THU skillfully captures not just an individual child but also encapsulates an entire narrative within one frame – one that invites us to appreciate the beauty found in diversity while cherishing our shared humanity.
