Piercing the Dark

Preah Khan (Sacred Sword) Temple, Angkor Wat, Siem Reap, Cambodia. A shaft of light breaks through shadow into a dark and ancient chamber lighting a stone floor and a recessed chamber. The significance of the space suggests multiple meanings to contemplate; perhaps the power of light in dark places, ritual, revelation, and resilience.
