EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the breathtaking view of the Dome of the Rock, a revered religious site in Jerusalem's Old City. The image showcases the magnificent golden dome standing proudly amidst a backdrop of clear blue skies. From the vantage point of the Christian Quarter, one can appreciate both its architectural grandeur and its significance to multiple faiths. Known as al-Haram al-Sharif to Muslims and Temple Mount to Jews, this compound holds immense historical and spiritual importance for both communities. The Dome of the Rock is seen here as a symbol of coexistence, where different religions converge within Jerusalem's ancient walls. Taken on January 24,2011, this photograph also sheds light on an intriguing political context. Leaked documents reveal that Palestinian negotiators had secretly offered concessions regarding occupied East Jerusalem during peace talks with Israel. This revelation adds another layer of complexity to an already contentious issue. Baz Ratner skillfully captures this scene using creative composition and lighting techniques. By framing the iconic structure through surrounding buildings, he highlights its prominence within Jerusalem's urban landscape while emphasizing its role as a place of worship for millions around the world. In summary, this print not only presents a stunning visual depiction but also invites contemplation about religion, politics, and cultural heritage in one frame.
