EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable Roman theatre of Sabratha, located in modern-day Libya. Built between 161 and 192 AD during the height of ancient Rome's influence, this architectural marvel stands as a testament to the grandeur and sophistication of the era. The theater is adorned with intricately carved stone sculptures and towering pillars that evoke a sense of awe and wonder. The vibrant colors captured in this image bring to life not only the exquisite craftsmanship but also highlight the rich history embedded within its walls. As one gazes at this archaeological site, it is impossible not to be transported back in time, imagining the lively performances that once took place on its stage. Interestingly, what sets this photograph apart from others is an unexpected element - aquatic life. In a unique juxtaposition against ancient ruins, fish swim gracefully through crystal-clear waters surrounding the theater's base. This fusion of past and present creates a striking contrast that reminds us of nature's ability to reclaim even man-made structures over time. Photographer Vivienne Sharp has masterfully captured both the sharpness of detail in every column and sculpture while expertly framing these elements against an idyllic backdrop. With her keen eye for composition, she invites viewers into a world where artistry meets history. This print serves as a visual reminder of our shared human heritage and offers an opportunity for reflection on how civilizations rise and fall throughout time.
