EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us on a journey to the ancient city of Aleppo in Syria, where the remnants of history stand tall amidst the ravages of time. The image showcases the hauntingly beautiful ruins of the Basilica of Saint Simeon, also known as Qalaat Samaan, located in one of the Dead Cities. Once a thriving center along the legendary Silk Road, this historical gem holds profound significance for both its architectural grandeur and religious importance. The stone carvings adorning its walls tell tales from centuries past, whispering stories that have withstood countless generations. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing sight, we are transported back to an era when worshipers flocked to this sacred place seeking solace and spiritual enlightenment. Now reduced to fragments and rubble, these church ruins serve as a poignant reminder of Aleppo's rich cultural heritage and resilience. The photograph captures every intricate detail with precision and artistry. The play between light and shadow adds depth to each weathered stone column standing proudly against nature's relentless forces. It is a testament to photographer Michele Falzone's talent in capturing not just an image but also emotions frozen in time. This powerful visual narrative invites us to reflect on our own mortality while marveling at humanity's ability to create enduring legacies even amid chaos. It beckons us towards exploration and discovery; reminding us that there is beauty yet hidden within forgotten corners waiting patiently for our eyes to uncover them once more.
