Artist's Description
Shuri Castle, originally built in the 14th century, was the cultural and political center of the Ryukyu Kingdom from 1429 until Okinawa was annexed by Japan in 1879. Shuri Castle was destroyed multiple times throughout the century in battle, including during World War II. In 2000, Shuri Castle was registered with UNESCO as a World Heritage site.
On October 31, 2019, a fire destroyed most of the main castle structures. The blaze, which is suspected to have been caused by an electrical fault, torched seven wooden buildings occupying over 4,000 sq. meters of a hill overlooking the prefectural capital Naha. This photograph was taken on October 8, 2019 - 23 days before the fire.

About Karen Varnas
To see a World in a Grain of Sand And a Heaven in a Wild Flower, Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand And Eternity in an hour. William Blake As a young girl I had William Blake's poem taped to my bedroom wall. It was the first thing I laid eyes on when I woke up in the morning and the last thing I saw as I drifted off to sleep at night. His words, though simple, hold a power and a beauty all their own. As a photographer, I strive to capture this same essence in my work. To capture a moment of perfect, beautiful simplicity in an ever-changing world is, to me, what photography is all about and I try to capture this in my photographs.
