At the moment a solo-exhibit of Harels work is touring the USA called "Pure Faith". This exhibit is a unique collection of 28 images, in which Harel Stanton explores his interpretation of the sacred rites, traditions, and significant cultural nuances. His photographs feature ethnicities & religions including, but not limited to, Orthodox Judaism, Christianity, Islam and Hinduism.
When I think of Pure Faith, the words that come to my mind are love, purity…
For me, as someone who studies the religious ceremonies through the lens of the camera, every time I am amazed again to see that it is all the SAME people who are behind the uniform, costumes, dress, burka, kippa etc. It does not matter in what way we dress, do our worship or sacred work but what shines through the picture is the light and the thirst of all souls to experience their spiritual connection to the light, or God.
