EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "PDC-S-000752-0008" captured by Fiorillo, we are transported back in time to the late 19th or early 20th century. The image unveils a mesmerizing desert landscape that stretches as far as the eye can see. Amidst the vast expanse of golden sand and barren flatlands, an extraordinary sight emerges - a typical Middle Eastern construction standing proudly against the backdrop of nature's raw beauty. This architectural marvel is none other than Mar Elias, a concealed fountain tucked away within its walls. Its presence adds an element of intrigue and mystery to this already enchanting scene. As water flows from its intricate hydraulic system, it brings life and vitality to an otherwise arid environment. The location of this remarkable structure is Bethlehem, a place steeped in history and significance. It serves as a reminder of the rich biblical heritage associated with these lands mentioned in both the Old and New Testaments. Just beyond Bethlehem lies Jerusalem, another holy city deeply intertwined with religious narratives. Fiorillo's expertly composed photograph captures not only the physicality of Mar Elias but also conveys a sense of awe-inspiring tranquility amidst such harsh surroundings. The play between light and shadow accentuates every detail - from each grain of sand to every architectural feature. As we gaze upon this timeless image, we are reminded that even in desolate landscapes like these, human ingenuity has found ways to create structures that stand tall against all odds. This photograph invites us to contemplate our connection with nature while marveling at mankind's ability to transform their surroundings into something beautiful and meaningful.
