EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the resilience and hard work of an elderly woman in the picturesque rice terraces of Tulgao Village, nestled near Tinglayan in the Cordillera Mountains of Kalinga Province, Luzon Island. As she toils under the radiant Southeast Asian sun, her weathered hands expertly maneuver fish traps amidst the water-filled terraces. The image captures a harmonious blend of nature and human labor, with lush green mountains serving as a breathtaking backdrop. The vibrant colors of her surroundings contrast beautifully against her traditional attire, emphasizing both her cultural heritage and dedication to farming. With its high angle view, this vertical photograph allows us to appreciate not only the woman's diligent efforts but also the vastness and beauty of these rice paddies. The distance between her and the distant peaks creates a sense of solitude while highlighting how small we are compared to nature's grandeur. This powerful image transports viewers into a world where age is no barrier for hard work or connection with one's land. It serves as a reminder that agriculture remains at the heart of many communities worldwide, sustaining livelihoods while preserving traditions passed down through generations. Christian Kober/Robert Harding has masterfully captured this moment in time – an intimate glimpse into rural life in Southeast Asia that evokes admiration for those who dedicate their lives to cultivating our sustenance.
