EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported to the mystical world of ancient Egypt as Nephtys, the Egyptian goddess, emerges from a magnificent tree. The unknown artist skillfully captures the essence of this enchanting moment from Ippolito Rosellini's "Monuments of Egypt and Upper Nubia" in the 19th century. Nephtys, adorned with divine beauty and grace, extends her hand towards the deceased offering them sustenance for their journey into the afterlife. As she stands amidst lush foliage and delicate flowers, her presence exudes both power and serenity. The symbolism embedded within this image is profound. The towering tree represents life itself - its branches reaching towards heaven while its roots remain firmly grounded in earthly existence. Nephtys embodies not only a deity but also an intermediary between mortals and gods; she bridges the gap between life and death. This engraving serves as a testament to African mythology and spirituality that was deeply rooted in paganism during ancient times. It reminds us of how religion played an integral role in shaping cultural beliefs surrounding death rituals. Giancarlo Costa's expert photography allows us to appreciate every intricate detail captured within this historical artwork. Through his lens, we can almost feel ourselves being transported back through time to witness this sacred encounter firsthand. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing print, let us reflect on our own mortality and contemplate what lies beyond our earthly existence – just as those who once roamed these lands did centuries ago.
