EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Aswan. Graves of holy men on the hill above the first cataract (even with the hawk that flies)" transports us to Egypt in 1968, capturing a timeless scene of spiritual significance. The photographer, Azan Anna, skillfully captures the essence of Aswan's sacred landscape. In this evocative image, we are drawn to a cluster of graves situated on a hill overlooking the majestic first cataract. These resting places belong to revered holy men who have left an indelible mark on Egyptian history and culture. Their final abode is surrounded by an aura of tranquility and reverence. The composition is enhanced by the presence of a soaring hawk gracefully gliding across the sky at eye level with these hallowed tombs. Symbolizing freedom and divinity in ancient Egyptian mythology, this magnificent bird adds an ethereal quality to an already mystical setting. The choice to present this photograph in monochrome further accentuates its timelessness and allows us to focus solely on its content without distraction. Each detail becomes more pronounced - from the intricate engravings adorning each tombstone to the rugged terrain surrounding them. Azan Anna's keen eye for capturing moments frozen in time enables viewers to step into this poignant scene as if transported back over half a century ago. Through his lens, we can almost feel the weight of history hanging heavy in the air around these sacred burial grounds. "Aswan. Graves of holy men on the hill above the first cataract (even with the hawk that flies)" serves as both a visual testament to Egypt's rich cultural heritage and a reminder that even after decades have passed since its capture, it continues to hold immense power and captivate our imaginations today.
