Among the incessant information flows and endless news feeds, when the time in the diary is scheduled by the minute, and Figaro himself envies the movements in space, the thought of peace and quiet evokes blissful dreams of relaxation, tranquility and harmony. You can plunge into this idyll with by Monica Denevan, which has found a real oasis of silence in the midst of a noisy world. Welcome to the amazing and mesmerizing Burma!
Monica Denevan is from California, but she has not been attracted to the seething American life for a long time. Traveling the world, she discovered Burma - an amazing country, where she first visited, Monica was captivated by the "meditative beauty of landscapes and the quiet elegance of ordinary people." Realizing how distorted the media is forming about this country, Denevan set out to make a high-quality photo report that would tell about the true value of the Burmese lifestyle.
A talented photographer understands that behind the ostentatious vanity of cities, you can find real seclusion, where nature has not been touched by civilization, and the locals revere their original culture and age-old traditions. Monica Denevan made every effort to show the harmony of nature and man, because for those who live in this area, Burmese beauty is not exotic, but an everyday reality.
All photographs of the cycle are black and white, which gives them a special intimacy and introduces a certain intrigue, making them look like frames from a talentedly filmed film. The plasticity of the bodies, the accuracy of the lines, the play of light and shadow, and most importantly - silence, this is what makes the works of Monica Denevan recognizable at first sight and gives rise to a truly Buddhist calmness in them.
