EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the ancient walls of the monastery of St. Catherine in Sinai, Egypt. The year is 1987, and photographer Folco Quilici has expertly captured a scene that holds immense historical and religious significance. Inside these weathered walls, we are drawn to the sight of a pristine white dome standing tall against the backdrop of an azure sky. This is none other than the chapel of St. George, its elegant form commanding attention amidst its surroundings. But it is not just this magnificent structure that captivates our gaze; our eyes are also drawn towards two powerful symbols - the Cross of the temple and the bush "burning not consumed". These symbols hold deep meaning for those familiar with biblical stories. It was here, where Moses stood centuries ago, that God's angel appeared to him in a flame of fire within a bush that miraculously remained unscathed by flames. This divine encounter marked a pivotal moment in history and set into motion events that would shape faith for generations to come. Quilici's photograph allows us to witness this sacred site frozen in time - an enduring testament to human devotion and spiritual connection. As we contemplate this image, we can almost feel ourselves stepping into history itself, surrounded by echoes from ages past. In this single frame lies layers upon layers of cultural heritage and religious significance – an invitation for contemplation and reflection on humanity's timeless quest for meaning beyond mortal existence.
