EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the turn of the century in Syria. The image showcases a magnificent water wheel, located at the Roman aqueduct on the Orontes River near Hama. Standing tall against the backdrop of an ancient town, this engineering marvel is a testament to both Roman ingenuity and Syrian history. The scene captures not only architectural beauty but also provides glimpses into daily life during that era. A child can be seen standing nearby, perhaps in awe of this impressive structure that has stood the test of time. Women wearing veils are engaged in washing clothes by the riverbank, their presence adding a touch of authenticity to this snapshot from history. The photograph's composition draws attention to intricate details - from each spoke on the water wheel to every stone forming the aqueduct. It serves as a reminder of how human innovation has shaped landscapes across centuries. As we gaze upon this remarkable diptych, we are transported back through time and reminded of Syria's rich cultural heritage. This print invites us to appreciate not only its aesthetic value but also prompts reflection on our shared human history and resilience throughout generations.
