EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the iconic Pyramid in Tirana, Albania, once a mausoleum for the infamous Communist-era leader Enver Hoxha. Standing tall and imposing against the city's skyline, this architectural marvel serves as a reminder of Albania's tumultuous past. The Pyramid, designed by Enver Hoxha's daughter and son-in-law as a tribute to his legacy, has since become a symbol of controversy and debate. Originally intended to be a museum dedicated to Hoxha's life, it now stands abandoned and neglected. Once an important landmark during the communist regime, this pyramid-shaped structure represents both power and oppression. Its unique design draws attention from locals and tourists alike who are intrigued by its historical significance. Tirana itself is a vibrant capital city nestled in Central Europe with rich cultural heritage. The juxtaposition of modern buildings alongside remnants of its socialist past creates an intriguing blend that captivates visitors from around the world. Photographer Walter Bibikow skillfully captures the essence of this complex structure through his lens. His artistry allows us to reflect upon Albania's history while contemplating how it shapes its present identity. This stunning image transports viewers into another era - one filled with political ideologies and social unrest. It serves as a poignant reminder that even in times of darkness, there is beauty to be found within our shared human experience.
