EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the ancient Ballot Discs from 480 BC, made of terracotta and originating from Greece. Preserved in the Agora Museum in Athens, these artifacts provide a fascinating glimpse into the democratic process of that era. The intricate design and craftsmanship on each disc reflect the importance placed on fair elections during this time. These ballot discs were an essential part of the voting procedure in ancient Greece. Each token served as a tangible representation of a citizen's voice and choice. Covered with text inscriptions, they allowed individuals to cast their votes by placing them into designated containers. The fragmented nature of these discs adds to their allure, hinting at their age and historical significance. Despite being remnants from antiquity, they continue to hold immense value as symbols of democracy's roots. Luisa Ricciarini expertly captures this artifact through her lens, highlighting its beauty while preserving its historical context. Her photograph invites viewers to ponder upon the evolution of voting systems throughout history and appreciate how far we have come since those early days. As we gaze upon this image, let us be reminded not only of our own privilege to participate in modern-day elections but also of the enduring legacy left behind by civilizations long gone.
