EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us to Upper Egypt in 2004, where the ancient Roman granite quarry known as Mons Claudianus stands proudly. This historic site holds great significance as it provided the raw materials for the majestic columns adorning the iconic Pantheon. The image captures a moment frozen in time, showcasing an archeologist immersed in their work amidst this archaeological wonderland. With tools in hand and a determined expression on their face, they delve into the depths of history, unearthing secrets that have long been buried. The scene is one of both awe-inspiring beauty and immense historical importance. The towering columns that surround them serve as silent witnesses to centuries of human ingenuity and craftsmanship. Each stone tells a story, whispering tales of ancient civilizations and architectural marvels. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are reminded of the tireless efforts undertaken by those dedicated to unraveling our past. Their passion for discovery drives them deep into cave grottos like these, tirelessly excavating monuments and complexes with meticulous care. Quilici's masterful composition allows us to appreciate not only the grandeur of these ruins but also the dedication required to uncover their hidden treasures. It serves as a testament to humanity's insatiable thirst for knowledge about our ancestors' lives and achievements. In this single frame captured by Quilici's lens, we are transported back through time – standing alongside archeologists who strive to piece together fragments from our collective heritage. We are reminded that every column found is more than just another artifact; it is a tangible connection between past and present - bridging gaps across millennia while inspiring future generations with its enduring legacy.
