EDITORS COMMENTS
In this poignant print captured by Jane Sweeney, we are transported to the rugged landscapes of Bamiyan Province in Afghanistan. The image showcases a young Afghan boy seated atop a humble donkey, his silhouette framed against the majestic cliffs that once housed the famous carved small Buddha. Standing at an awe-inspiring height of 180 feet, this magnificent statue was tragically destroyed by the Taliban in 2001. The photograph not only captures the beauty of the region but also serves as a powerful reminder of history's irrevocable losses. As we gaze upon this scene, our hearts ache for what was lost and marvel at the resilience of those who continue to call these lands home. The presence of both human and animal elements adds depth to the composition. The boy's solitary figure symbolizes strength and innocence amidst adversity, while his trusty steed represents both companionship and practicality in navigating these challenging terrains. Jane Sweeney's lens skillfully encapsulates a moment frozen in time - one that speaks volumes about cultural heritage, conflict-ridden histories, and everyday life intersecting with extraordinary circumstances. This image invites us to reflect on how ancient wonders can be erased from existence yet remain etched forever within our collective memory.
