EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Dandara. In the swimming pool of the temple of Hathor now we have installed a beautiful garden with palm trees" transports us to Egypt, specifically to the ancient city of Dandara. Taken in 1983 by renowned photographer Folco Quilici, this image captures a mesmerizing transformation within the historic Temple of Hathor. Once an empty swimming pool, this sacred space has been revitalized into a stunning oasis adorned with lush palm trees and vibrant foliage. The juxtaposition between the ancient stone architecture and the natural beauty of the newly established garden creates a harmonious blend that is both awe-inspiring and serene. The Temple of Hathor itself holds great significance in Egyptian history as it was dedicated to the goddess Hathor, who symbolized love, joy, music, and dance. This photograph not only showcases its architectural grandeur but also highlights how human intervention can breathe new life into forgotten spaces. Quilici's expert composition allows us to appreciate every intricate detail – from each meticulously placed palm tree casting delicate shadows on the sunlit ground to the reflection shimmering upon still waters. It invites us to imagine ourselves strolling through this enchanting sanctuary, feeling a sense of tranquility wash over our senses. As we gaze at this timeless snapshot frozen in time, we are reminded that even amidst centuries-old structures steeped in history and tradition, there is always room for growth and rejuvenation. The installation of this breathtaking garden serves as a testament to humanity's ability to create beauty where once there was emptiness – an everlasting tribute captured forever by Quilici's lens.
