EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Dandara. Totals from the ruins of the sacred temple of Hathor" takes us on a visual journey to ancient Egypt, specifically to the mesmerizing temple complex of Dandara. Captured by renowned photographer Folco Quilici in 1983, this image transports us back in time, allowing us to witness the remnants of a once majestic structure dedicated to the goddess Hathor. The composition is strikingly beautiful, with intricate details meticulously preserved despite the passage of centuries. The photograph showcases imposing columns adorned with hieroglyphics that whisper tales of devotion and worship. Each column stands tall like silent sentinels guarding secrets lost to time. As we gaze upon this print, we are reminded of Egypt's rich cultural heritage and its profound connection with spirituality. The sacredness emanating from these ruins is palpable; one can almost feel the presence of those who once sought solace within these hallowed walls. Quilici's masterful use of light and shadow adds depth and dimension to this image, enhancing our perception of both grandeur and decay. It serves as a poignant reminder that even great civilizations eventually succumb to the relentless march of time. This photograph invites contemplation about our own transience amidst an ever-changing world. It urges us to reflect on how societies rise and fall while leaving behind fragments for future generations to decipher. "Dandara" not only captures a moment frozen in history but also evokes emotions that transcend time itself. It reminds us that beauty can be found even in what remains after destruction – an enduring testament to human creativity, resilience, and reverence for something greater than ourselves.
