23rd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest People
The Two Face
I took this photo in 2024 when I visited Bagan, the ancient and historic city of Myanmar. I was inspired by the face of an elderly man whose wrinkles and skin showed the passage of time. Through this photo, I wanted to express that true power is not about fighting against aging, but about staying healthy, strong, and full of life even as we grow older.
