EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by Cyrille Gibot, we are transported to the heart of downtown Memphis, Tennessee. The image showcases the imposing Sterick Building, a towering structure that stands as a testament to both architectural grandeur and the passage of time. Once hailed as the tallest building in the South upon its completion in 1930, this gothic-style masterpiece exudes an air of faded glory. Standing at a staggering height of 365 feet, it dominates the cityscape with its intricate details and commanding presence. However, behind its majestic facade lies a story of decline and abandonment. By 1960, the Sterick Building began to lose its luster and gradually fell into disrepair. Despite being vacant since 1980, it remains an enduring symbol of resilience amidst urban decay. Through Gibot's lens, we witness how nature has started reclaiming what was once man-made; vines gracefully intertwine with weathered bricks while sunlight filters through broken windows. This photograph invites us to reflect on our own impermanence and reminds us that even structures built with ambition can succumb to neglect over time. Yet there is beauty in this decay - a haunting allure that captivates our imagination and sparks curiosity about what stories lie within these abandoned walls. Gibot's masterful composition allows us to appreciate not only the architectural marvels from days gone by but also serves as a poignant reminder that nothing lasts forever – not even towering giants like the Sterick Building.
