EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to Upper Egypt, specifically Aswan, where the desert meets the mighty Nile. Perched on a hill that serves as a natural barrier between these contrasting landscapes stands the remarkable Coptic monastery of St. Simeon. The image transports us to 1968, capturing a moment frozen in time by Azan Anna from Alinari. The composition offers an intriguing glimpse into the daily life within this ancient sanctuary. In one corner, we see the lighthouse keeper diligently tending to his duties, ensuring safe passage for those navigating the river at night. Moving our gaze further into the frame, we notice grinding stones scattered around – remnants of centuries-old traditions and practices carried out by devoted monks who once resided here. These stones tell stories of hard work and dedication that have shaped both their spiritual lives and physical surroundings. As our eyes wander across this snapshot of history, they are drawn towards vibrant frescoes adorning the walls of St. Simeon's Monastery. These intricate artworks depict religious scenes and figures intertwined with rich symbolism—a testament to the faith that has thrived within these sacred walls for generations. Azan Anna's photograph not only captures architectural beauty but also invites contemplation about human resilience and devotion amidst harsh environments such as Egypt's arid landscape. Through this single image, we are transported back in time—immersing ourselves in Upper Egypt's cultural heritage while marveling at its enduring treasures like St. Simeon's Monastery standing tall against nature's elements.
