EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a moment frozen in time, showcasing a tourist group embarking on a journey to the ancient caves of Qumran. The image transports us back to 1958, as we witness men and women walking along a dusty dirt road that winds through the breathtaking landscape of the Holy Land. The group's anticipation is palpable as they traverse this historic path on the northwestern shore of the Dead Sea. This area holds immense significance, for it was here that the renowned Dead Sea Scrolls were discovered just over a decade ago in 1947. As they approach their destination, one can't help but imagine their excitement at exploring these archaeological wonders firsthand. Hanna Safieh expertly captures this scene, skillfully framing her subjects against an ancient stone wall that stands tall amidst the barren desert backdrop. The composition draws our attention to both the individual members of the group and their collective unity as they form a line along the seashore. This evocative print serves not only as a visual memento of an unforgettable vacation but also as a testament to humanity's enduring curiosity about our past. It reminds us of our innate desire to explore and understand history's mysteries while immersing ourselves in awe-inspiring landscapes like Khirbet Qumran.
