EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Broken Warrior" takes us on a journey through time, capturing the essence of a significant archaeological discovery. The image showcases a Chinese terracotta warrior in pieces, before its meticulous reconstruction. Unearthed in the town of Xi'an, these extraordinary terracotta sculptures represent the armies of Qin Shi Huang, China's first Emperor. The photograph transports us to an excavation site in Shaanxi Province, East Central China. Here lies a pit filled with broken remnants that once stood as proud symbols of ancient power and might. Each fragment tells a story of history and nostalgia; memories preserved despite their deterioration over centuries. The color image beautifully captures the damaged sculpture lying down amidst other decapitated figures. It serves as a poignant reminder of the passage of time and human fragility against the backdrop of Chinese culture and heritage. Designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, this high-angle view offers viewers an opportunity to reflect upon our shared past while contemplating the significance behind each male likeness and human representation within this remarkable collection. As we gaze upon this evocative photograph by Adrienne Bresnahan, we are reminded that even shattered relics can hold immense beauty and serve as powerful travel destinations for those seeking to connect with history firsthand.
