TITLE: Grasping for the Divine

Captured during the Dajia Mazu Pilgrimage in Taiwan, one of the world's largest religious events. In this moment, thousands of devotees extend their hands, hoping to touch the passing palanquin of the Sea Goddess, Mazu, to receive her blessing. The black and white composition strips away the distraction of color, focusing entirely on the raw human emotion, the texture of the hands, and the intense, collective desire for spiritual connection.
