EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Jane Sweeney showcases the mesmerizing beauty of Shahr-e-Zohak, also known as the Red City, located in the Bamiyan province of Afghanistan. The ruins depicted in this image are believed to date back as early as the 6th century A. D. , serving as a testament to the rich history and cultural heritage of this region. The photograph captures the remnants of a fortress that once stood proudly atop the red cliffs, guarding the entrance to the city of Bamiyan during the reign of the Shansabani King in the 12th and 13th centuries AD. It is remarkable how these ancient structures withstood an attack led by Genghis Khan's grandson in 1221, despite being wounded themselves. Unfortunately, Genghis Khan sought revenge on this valley for his grandson's injury. The image transports us back in time, allowing us to marvel at both nature's grandeur and human ingenuity. The vibrant hues of red against a backdrop of rugged cliffs create a striking contrast that adds depth and character to this archaeological wonder. Jane Sweeney skillfully captures not only historical significance but also evokes emotions through her lens. This print serves as a reminder that even amidst turmoil and destruction, there is always resilience and beauty waiting to be discovered.
