EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the vibrant and intricate artwork adorning the gable-wall of a cult-house in the Maprik Region of New Guinea. The architectural feature, known as a gable, serves as both an artistic expression and a significant symbol within this indigenous community. The painted wall is adorned with an array of rich colors, predominantly brown hues that beautifully complement the natural surroundings. The skilled craftsmanship is evident in every brushstroke, depicting various elements such as faces and bodies that hold deep cultural significance. Within this sacred space, men gather to partake in rituals and ceremonies that connect them to their ancestral heritage. The cult-room itself exudes an aura of mystery and spirituality, inviting visitors to immerse themselves in its profound atmosphere. This photograph not only captures the beauty of this unique architectural object but also provides us with a glimpse into the diverse culture and traditions found in New Guinea. It reminds us of the importance of preserving these ancient practices for future generations to appreciate. Taken by renowned photographer CM Dixon, this image transports us thousands of miles away from our own familiar landscapes into a world where art merges seamlessly with architecture, creating spaces that are not just functional but deeply meaningful.
