EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us to the ancient civilization of the Maya, specifically to the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Chichen Itza in Yucatan, Mexico. The image showcases intricate carvings of skulls on the Tzompantli, a stone structure that served as a platform for displaying human skulls. The past comes alive through this photograph, revealing the rich history and archaeological wonders of this remarkable site. The skillful carving work is evident in every detail, highlighting the craftsmanship and artistic talent of these Mayan people. As we gaze upon this outdoor scene, we are reminded of both life and death. The presence of skulls symbolizes mortality and serves as a reminder that all things must eventually come to an end. Yet amidst this contemplation lies beauty; each skull carving tells its own story within the larger narrative of Chichen Itza. The color image captures not only the physicality but also the spirit of this travel destination. It invites us to explore further into Mexico's vibrant culture and delve deeper into our understanding of ancient civilizations. Through R H Productions/Robert Harding's lens, we are transported back in time while simultaneously appreciating how contemporary photography can bring new life to historical sites like Chichen Itza. This print is a testament to humanity's enduring fascination with history and our desire to preserve it for future generations.
