“Marilyn’s entire life was a journey. Born in London, she moved with her family at a young age to America, where she attended university. Later, as a photo journalist, she travelled to many different places. Especially for a woman working during these times, she was particularly fearless and adventurous. Marilyn lived in India for a significant portion of her life. This picture was taken in what is now the state of Sikkim, in northeastern India. In the sacred dances like the one performed in this image, swords are used to symbolize wisdom cutting through ignorance.
Sikkim was a difficult country to get into, but Marilyn had the ability to be close to everyone. She was close with monarchs, monks, peasants, politicians, starving children, every class and type of person. She used to say, ‘I treat them all the same. Everyone loves to be photographed.’ Sometimes, when we make trips, everything has a way of looking very exotic. That’s not how Marilyn looked at things; she didn’t see events or rituals as spectacles. In her journey, she always felt close to what she was photographing. Her images reflect her intimacy with the moment.” - Vivian Kurz, Director of Dilgo Khyentse Fellowship/Shechen, Marilyn Silverstone Estate
