EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the mesmerizing Medusa head, a remarkable ancient artifact located in the Forum of Leptis Magna, a UNESCO World Heritage Site in Tripolitania, Libya. The image showcases the incredible stone work and intricate carving of this historical Roman sculpture, which has withstood the test of time despite evident erosion and damage. The close-up shot allows us to appreciate the exquisite detail and color that still remains on this African masterpiece. As we observe closely, we can see how years of exposure to nature have taken their toll on this once-majestic piece of art. The eroding effect is visible, as cracks weaken its structure and parts begin to deteriorate. This photograph not only documents an archaeological site but also tells a story about an ancient civilization that thrived in Northern Africa. It serves as a reminder of our rich cultural heritage and highlights the importance of preserving these historical landmarks for future generations. Nico Tondini/Robert Harding's skillful photography transports us back in time, allowing us to marvel at this significant piece from antiquity. Through his lens, we are able to witness both the beauty and vulnerability inherent in such artifacts. This image invites viewers to contemplate change over time while appreciating the enduring legacy left behind by past civilizations.
