EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the timeless beauty and grandeur of the Pyramid of Cheops, located within the ancient funerary complex at Giza, Egypt. Dating back to 2900 BC, this architectural marvel stands as a testament to human ingenuity and serves as a poignant reminder of our ancestors' reverence for life beyond death. The photograph, taken by Quilici Folco in 1987, perfectly encapsulates the mystique surrounding this iconic structure. Bathed in warm sunlight against a clear blue sky, the pyramid's imposing presence dominates the frame. Its smooth limestone façade rises majestically towards heaven, seemingly defying both time and gravity. As one gazes upon this image, it is impossible not to be awestruck by its sheer magnitude. The Pyramid of Cheops was once considered one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World and remains an enduring symbol of Egyptian civilization's extraordinary achievements. Beyond its physical attributes lies a deeper significance ingrained within every stone block meticulously placed centuries ago. This monument served as a final resting place for Pharaoh Khufu (Cheops), who believed in his eternal journey after death. It represents not only his earthly power but also his spiritual quest for immortality. Quilici Folco's expert composition allows us to appreciate every intricate detail while evoking an overwhelming sense of wonderment. From afar or up close, each angle reveals new mysteries waiting to be unraveled. This print transports us back through millennia and invites contemplation on humanity's ceaseless pursuit for knowledge and meaning. It reminds us that even today we are connected with those who came before us – their legacy etched into these ancient stones standing tall amidst shifting sands. In preserving this moment frozen in time through photography, we honor both history itself and those whose vision shaped it so magnificently.
