NEPAL. Bodnath. Shechen Monastery. Tulku KHENTRUL LODRO RABSEL (12 years old) with his tutor LHAGYEL.
 
This photograph provides the story of a child becoming a monk, showing an intimate encounter between the kid and his tutor. The two figures are placed in the middle, as the central characters of the photo, sitting in their specific pose and experiencing a cherished relationship. The tutor has a calm facial expression that reveals his wisdom, wild the child’s smiling face reflects his innocence. Additionally, the bird on the tutor’s head imposes a certain affectionate impulse, entailing warmth in the actual bond between the “student” and the “teacher”. The background is mostly plain, including just a detail of a bed and a window. The focus is on the figures and their mutual understanding, within the limits of knowledge and affiliation.
