EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Purely Papuan" by Trevor Cole, we are transported to the heart of Papua New Guinea's rich cultural heritage. The image showcases a mesmerizing portrait of a Papuan tribesman, his face adorned with intricate patterns that symbolize his tribe's unique identity and traditions. The play of light and shadows adds depth to the photograph, accentuating the man's strong features and emphasizing the connection between him and his ancestral roots. As we gaze into his eyes, we catch a glimpse of the indomitable spirit that resides within him - a testament to the resilience and pride of Papua's indigenous people. The backdrop reveals an enigmatic spirit house nestled amidst lush foliage near the Sepik River. This sacred space serves as a sanctuary for rituals, ceremonies, and communal gatherings; it is where ancient wisdom is passed down from one generation to another. Through this portrayal, Cole invites us to contemplate not only individuality but also collective memory and shared experiences that shape our understanding of culture. This print offers more than just visual aesthetics; it becomes an invitation for viewers to immerse themselves in Papua New Guinea's vibrant tapestry of customs, beliefs, and values. It reminds us that despite modern advancements encroaching upon traditional ways of life around the world, there are still places where age-old practices thrive – preserving their essence against all odds
