“你手中这本书,旨在带你踏上一段神圣的旅程。事实上,我们每个人每天都会经历这段旅程,只要走在新加坡的街道上。”
我们常常没有充分意识到
在我们这个小地方周围有一千多座礼拜堂,
文化多元的城邦。这本半摄影集是一次谦逊的尝试,
赋予这50块神圣的沙石以声音,与我们分享它们的故事,让我们更进一步地理解和欣赏在当地和全球范围内实践的主要信仰的艺术和文化。书中的反思和摄影作品也非常精妙。

“This book you are holding is designed to take you on a sacred journey through its pages. In fact, it is a journey that all of us take daily, just by walking along the streets of Singapore.”
Often we are not fully aware of the artistic, diverse and divine features of more than a thousand houses of worship, which surround us in this small, culturally diverse city-state. This semi-photobook is a humble attempt to give 50 of these sacred sands/stones the voice required to share their stories with us and for us to move a little closer to understanding and appreciating the art and culture of major faiths being practised both locally and globally. Complementing the reflections and photography in the book are astute sketches by renowned Singapore artist, Dr Ho Chee Lick.
