EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the grandeur and historical significance of Decumanus Maximus, Palmyra. The columned main street stands as a testament to the rich cultural heritage of this ancient Syrian city. Despite being taken during a time of crisis in the Middle East, the image depicts resilience and beauty amidst turmoil. The composition showcases the architectural marvels that once lined this iconic thoroughfare. The imposing Temple of Bel can be seen in the distance, its intricate details standing out against an azure sky. The triumphal arch proudly marks the entrance to this UNESCO World Heritage Site, inviting visitors to explore its storied past. However, beyond its aesthetic appeal lies a deeper narrative. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of war's devastating impact on cultural treasures like Palmyra. It symbolizes both loss and hope - loss for what has been destroyed by militant groups during Syria's civil war and hope for preservation efforts led by organizations such as UNESCO. Stefania Besca's photography skillfully captures these contrasting emotions with sensitivity and artistry. Through her lens, she invites viewers to reflect on not only the physical destruction but also on the resilience of humanity in times of adversity. This print is more than just an aesthetically pleasing image; it is a powerful visual testimony that sparks conversations about history, conflict, travel destinations, and our collective responsibility to protect our shared heritage from further harm.
