EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the picturesque town of Asilah in Morocco, with its iconic white houses and a hauntingly beautiful graveyard overlooking the vast expanse of the Atlantic Ocean. The image perfectly captures the essence of this North African gem, blending history, culture, and natural beauty. Asilah's white houses stand as a testament to its colonial past, reflecting Portuguese influence in their architectural style. Nestled within these charming streets is an ancient medina that takes visitors on a journey through time. The town's rich history is further emphasized by the presence of an old castle and fortresses along its coastline. However, it is the juxtaposition between life and death that truly captivates in this photograph. The graveyard perched above the ocean serves as a reminder of mortality while offering breathtaking views over the sea. It evokes contemplation about our place in this world and invites reflection on both life's transience and eternal beauty. The tranquil ambiance portrayed here makes Asilah an ideal travel destination for those seeking solace amidst stunning surroundings. Its traditional villages and fortified walls add to its allure, transporting visitors back to another era. Through Mauricio Abreu's lens, we are transported to this enchanting corner of Morocco where nature meets architecture seamlessly. This print not only captures a moment frozen in time but also sparks curiosity about exploring more hidden treasures along Africa's awe-inspiring coastlines.
