EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the ancient city of Thebes, Egypt in 1933-1934. Standing tall and proud are the magnificent Colossi of Memnon, two colossal stone statues that once guarded Pharaoh Amenhotep III's mortuary temple. Dating back to the 14th century BC, these awe-inspiring statues were a testament to the power and grandeur of Ancient Egypt. The image captures the sheer size and intricacy of these monumental figures, as they sit majestically against a backdrop of ruins. Despite their weathered appearance, there is an undeniable sense of strength and resilience emanating from them. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported to a time long gone but not forgotten. We can almost hear whispers from history echoing through the Valley of the Kings as we contemplate the religious significance these statues held for ancient Egyptians. The photographer Donald McLeish has masterfully captured both the physicality and spiritual essence of these iconic structures. Through his lens, he invites us to explore not only their architectural magnificence but also our own connection with humanity's past. This print serves as a reminder that even in ruins, there is beauty; even in silence, stories unfold. It urges us to appreciate our shared heritage and marvel at how civilizations have shaped our world today.
