EDITORS COMMENTS
In this powerful image captured by Athit Perawongmetha, a skilled craftsman delicately restores the damaged statue of Hindu god Brahma. The photograph was taken in Bangkok, Thailand, on August 26,2015, following a devastating blast at the Erawan shrine. As forensic experts struggle to uncover crucial evidence related to Thailand's worst-ever bombing incident, this close-up shot focuses on the resilience and determination of one individual. The artisan's hands are seen meticulously repairing the intricate details of the golden statue. With his drill work tool in hand and wearing white gloves against a plain background, he is fully engrossed in his task. Although unrecognizable due to being out of frame or intentionally blurred for creative use purposes, we witness his dedication as he holds one body part of Brahma with utmost care. This image captures not only the physical restoration process but also symbolizes hope amidst destruction. It serves as a reminder that even after tragedy strikes and attempts are made to destroy cultural heritage, there will always be individuals who rise above adversity to preserve what is sacred. Through this photograph, Perawongmetha encapsulates both the fragility and strength inherent in humanity's ability to rebuild and restore what has been damaged or broken.
