EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Jane Sweeney transports us to the breathtaking Bamiyan Valley in Afghanistan's Bamiyan Province. The image showcases the awe-inspiring cliffs that dominate the landscape, with a poignant reminder of history etched into their surface. In this particular frame, we witness an empty niche where once stood the magnificent carved Buddha statues that were tragically destroyed by the Taliban in 2001. The sheer scale and grandeur of these ancient sculptures is difficult to comprehend, making their absence all the more profound. Yet, even in their absence, there is a haunting beauty to be found within this photograph. The rugged cliffs stand as silent witnesses to both human creativity and destruction. As our gaze follows the contours of the valley, we are reminded of Afghanistan's rich cultural heritage and its enduring resilience amidst adversity. This image serves as a powerful testament to how art can transcend time and space, leaving an indelible mark on both individuals and communities. Jane Sweeney's expert composition allows us to immerse ourselves in this Middle Eastern region from afar. Through her lens, we are transported across continents and invited to reflect upon not only what has been lost but also what remains - a resilient spirit that continues to inspire generations despite immense challenges faced along its journey through history.
