EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by CM Dixon transports us to the serene landscapes of Sri Lanka, where a majestic elephant finds solace in the cool waters of a river. The vibrant colors and intricate details bring this scene to life, allowing us to witness the harmonious relationship between man and nature. In the scorching midday heat near Kandy, this Sri Lankan elephant takes a well-deserved break from its laborious work as it submerges itself in the refreshing river. Its massive form gracefully blends with the surrounding geographical features, creating an awe-inspiring sight that reminds us of the sheer power and beauty of these gentle giants. The presence of a mahout, or elephant handler, adds depth to this image. It symbolizes centuries-old traditions and occupations deeply rooted in Sri Lankan culture. As both man and beast find respite together, their connection becomes palpable through this photograph. The artist's skillful portrayal captures not only the physicality but also conveys a deeper concept - that even amidst our busy lives and demanding professions, we all seek moments of rest and rejuvenation like this magnificent creature. This photograph serves as a reminder for us to appreciate nature's wonders while acknowledging our own need for balance. With its vivid hues and evocative composition, CM Dixon's artwork invites viewers into an enchanting world where elephants reign supreme and rivers offer sanctuary from life's demands.
