EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite craftsmanship of the Taino Culture through their Three-pointer Zemi (stone). Standing at a height of 18 cm, this sculpture is housed in the Fundacion Garcia Arevalo in the Dominican Republic. The stone carving represents a zemi or cemi, which holds great significance as a deity or ancestral spirit among the TaAino people. The intricate details of this stylized sculpture are truly remarkable. The face of the zemi is meticulously carved, with its mouth open wide as if to convey an important message from beyond. Every curve and line on this stone masterpiece reflects the skill and artistry of its creator. Photographer Dirk Bakker has expertly captured this spiritual artifact, allowing us to appreciate its beauty and cultural significance even from afar. Through his lens, we can almost feel the presence and power emanating from this ancient relic. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported back in time to an era when these sculptures were not merely objects but vessels for connecting with divine forces. This image serves as a reminder of our rich heritage and reminds us to cherish and preserve these invaluable pieces of history for generations to come.
