Catherine Hyland, Photographer, London

Description

This documentary photograph by Catherine Hyland captures two large, light-colored reclining Buddha statues resting on metal scaffolding frames. The statues are partially draped in vibrant orange robes, with their distinctive curly-haired heads angled toward the viewer under a pale, overcast sky. The outdoor setting features weathered concrete surfaces, green mesh netting on the left, and various construction materials scattered on the ground. Natural daylight illuminates the scene, casting soft shadows beneath the structures and highlighting the textured surface of the statues. The composition is horizontally framed, emphasizing the scale and construction context of the sculptural works.
