EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of a pilgrim in deep contemplation at the awe-inspiring rock hewn monolithic church of Bet Giyorgis (St. George's) in Lalibela, Ethiopia. Dressed in a traditional white shawl, she sits outside this ancient structure, immersing herself in solitude and reflection. The image showcases the remarkable architectural marvels of Lalibela, designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The woman's three-quarter length seated position against the stone backdrop evokes a sense of relaxation and tranquility amidst an ancient civilization. As her gaze fixates on an unseen point, one can't help but wonder about her thoughts and emotions. Is she pondering life's mysteries or seeking solace within the confines of this sacred space? Her posture suggests concentration and introspection while surrounded by the rich cultural heritage that Christianity holds for Ethiopians. In this vertical composition, Jane Sweeney skillfully captures not only the physicality of the church but also its spiritual significance to those who visit it. The vibrant colors add depth to the photograph while negative space allows viewers to focus solely on this lone figure lost in thought. Through her lens, Sweeney invites us to embark on our own journey of contemplation and appreciation for both Ethiopian history and religious devotion. This image serves as a reminder that even amidst bustling travel destinations like Africa, moments of quiet isolation can be found where we least expect them.
