EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the majestic ruins of the Citadel in Siwah, Egypt. Steeped in history, this ancient site holds a significant place in the legacy of Alexander the Great. In 356-323 BC, this legendary conqueror visited Siwah's oracle of Zeus Amon, seeking divine guidance from both Greek and Egyptian deities. The photograph showcases the architectural marvels left behind by past civilizations. The citadel stands tall amidst a backdrop of palm trees and desert landscapes, evoking a sense of awe and wonder. The mud brick structures bear witness to centuries gone by, their weathered surfaces telling stories untold. Siwah's location adds to its allure - nestled within an oasis amid the vast Sahara Desert. This geographical feature not only provided sustenance but also served as a strategic fortification for ancient inhabitants. Vivienne Sharp skillfully captured this image with vibrant colors that bring life to every detail - from the sharp edges of crumbling walls to lush greenery peeking through crevices. It is a testament to her talent as an artist and her passion for preserving cultural heritage through photography. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back in time; our imaginations run wild with tales of great kings and mystical oracles whispering secrets into eager ears. It serves as a reminder that even ruins can hold immense beauty and carry echoes from distant eras long forgotten.
