The deities atop the roof of the Hindu Temple at the base of the stairway to the Batu Caves seem to be chanting in unison, as a storm gathers overhead. I immediately saw the rhythmic repetition in the subject itself. To make it work as expression, I abstract the figures by silhouetting them against the late afternoon sky, exposing for the brightest part of the image. This calls attention to their body language instead of drawing attention to their ornate appearance. That body language is rhythmic in itself – arms upraised, symbols in hand, the statues appear to singing as a chorus. There was virtually no color in the leaden sky, so I converted the digital file to black and white. The image becomes universal and timeless, truly a Chorus of the Gods.
