EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of Tula, an ancient city in Mexico, through a remarkable stele carved at the entrance of its ruins. Taken by renowned photographer Quilici Folco in 1968, this print transports us back in time to witness the intricate craftsmanship and artistic brilliance of Mesoamerican civilization. The stele featured in the image stands tall and proud, bearing testament to the rich history that unfolded within these sacred grounds. Its weathered surface tells tales of forgotten empires and lost traditions, inviting us to delve into the mysteries concealed within its enigmatic carvings. As we gaze upon this archaeological marvel, our eyes are drawn to every detail meticulously etched onto its surface. The artist's skillful hand has immortalized scenes from ancient mythology or perhaps historical events long gone. Each stroke reveals a story waiting to be deciphered by archeologists who seek to unravel Tula's secrets. The composition is strikingly balanced; with delicate shadows dancing across the stone canvas, it creates a sense of depth that adds further intrigue to this already mesmerizing work of sculpture. The play between light and dark highlights both the grandeur and fragility inherent in human creations throughout time. Quilici Folco's masterful capture not only showcases his keen eye for framing but also serves as a reminder that art transcends eras. It reminds us that even amidst ruins lie remnants of extraordinary beauty waiting patiently for those willing to appreciate them. This print is more than just an artifact frozen in time; it is an invitation for exploration—a gateway into a world where past meets present—where we can connect with humanity's collective heritage while standing on hallowed ground.
