EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate and mysterious world of alchemy through the Chrysopoeia of Cleopatra, an ancient Greek manuscript dating back to circa 100 AD. The image captures a mesmerizing array of alchemical symbols, meticulously crafted by early Greek scholars in their pursuit of gold-making. In the lower left corner, we find an Ouroboros, a symbol depicting a serpent devouring its own tail. This powerful emblem represents eternal cyclic renewal and unity with the inscription "En to pan" in Greek, meaning "All is one". It serves as a reminder that everything is interconnected and part of a greater whole. The term chrysopoeia itself derives from Greek roots and translates literally to "gold-making" reflecting the central focus of these ancient practitioners. Their scientific equipment can be seen scattered throughout the image - boxes filled with tools and instruments necessary for their experiments. This photograph transports us back in time, offering us a glimpse into the enigmatic world of alchemy. It invites us to ponder upon humanity's enduring quest for knowledge and transformation.
