EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable artifact from the 18th century - a Hittite clay envelope designed to hold a letter on a clay tablet. The envelope, discovered in Kanesk, Turkey, is imprinted with an intricate seal that adds an air of mystery and intrigue to its appearance. Within this ancient envelope lies a significant message from Ena-Suen to Laqipim and Shamash Damiq. The image itself is strikingly captured against a black background in the studio, allowing every detail of this historical object to be appreciated. The color palette of the clay and seal creates an earthy yet rich tone that transports us back centuries ago. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are reminded of the ingenuity and craftsmanship possessed by our ancestors. It serves as a tangible reminder of their sophisticated communication methods long before modern technology came into existence. In the foreground stands one man holding this precious artifact, representing both its fragility and importance. His presence evokes curiosity about who these individuals were and what they sought to convey through their correspondence. This print by CM Dixon offers us not only an aesthetically pleasing image but also invites us to reflect upon our shared human history. It reminds us that even in today's fast-paced world, there is still value in preserving and appreciating relics from times gone by.
