EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by Domingo Leiva, we are transported to the ancient city of Santo Domingo in the Dominican Republic. The image showcases the breathtaking ruins of the hospital San Nicolas de Bari, bathed in a soft golden glow at dawn. As one gazes upon this preserved ruin, it becomes evident why it holds such historical significance. Built in 1503, the Hospital San Nicolas de Bari stands as a testament to resilience and endurance. Recognized by UNESCO as the oldest hospital constructed in the Americas, its weathered walls whisper tales of countless lives that were once saved within its confines. Now reduced to an enchanting ruin, it serves as a reminder of our shared human history. Leiva's masterful use of light adds an ethereal quality to this photograph. The warm hues illuminate every crevice and crack on these ancient stones while casting long shadows that dance across their surface. It is as if time itself has frozen for a moment, allowing us to witness both past and present coexist harmoniously. As we contemplate this image, we are invited to reflect on our own mortality and ponder how fleeting our existence truly is. Yet amidst decay and destruction lies beauty; beauty that reminds us of our collective heritage and inspires us to preserve what remains for future generations. Domingo Leiva's photographic masterpiece captures not only a physical structure but also evokes emotions tied deeply with history and culture—a true work of art that transports us through time with each glance.
