EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by Yiannis Kourtoglou, two men can be seen walking near a giant cross of the Panagia Chrisospiliotissa church on the outskirts of Nicosia, Cyprus. The image was captured on the eve of Orthodox Easter, adding to its juxtaposition contrast. The unrecognizable figures against the serene backdrop of an open space create a sense of distance and tranquility. The photograph beautifully captures the essence of spring season with its vibrant blue sky and picturesque rural landscape. The creative use of the cross shape in such an expansive environment emphasizes both the beauty in nature and the significance of Christian symbolism. As these two individuals leisurely walk, they seem to be getting away from it all, embracing a momentary escape from their daily lives. The vastness of the horizon line and distant fields add to this feeling of freedom and serenity. The giant-sized silhouette of the cross stands as a powerful reminder amidst nature's grandeur. It serves as a beacon for those seeking solace or spiritual connection in this idyllic setting. Overall, Kourtoglou's composition masterfully combines elements like weather conditions, natural beauty, and human presence to create an evocative image that encapsulates both religious devotion and appreciation for our surroundings.
