EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us on a visual journey to Africa, specifically Benin, where we find ourselves in the sacred and mystical land of Dassa. The image captures the essence of this ancient city as it showcases the royal burial site perched majestically upon the hill. The scene is adorned with an array of intriguing figures, sculptures, and handmade artifacts that reflect the rich cultural heritage of West Africa. These meticulously crafted wooden sculptures depict various vodun deities and ancestral spirits, evoking a sense of spirituality and reverence for tradition. Amongst these remarkable creations are also skulls, symbols of mortality reminding us that this place serves as a final resting ground for revered members of royalty. As we immerse ourselves in this photograph's details, our eyes are drawn to a goat placed ceremoniously amidst these sacred objects. Its presence suggests that rituals or offerings may have taken place here recently. The outdoor setting adds an element of natural beauty to this spiritual landscape; sunlight filters through lush foliage casting enchanting shadows upon each sculpture. This harmonious blend between nature and human craftsmanship creates an atmosphere filled with awe-inspiring energy. In summary, Discover Images by AWL has beautifully captured the essence of Dassa's royal burial site in Benin through their lens. This print invites viewers into a world where artistry meets spirituality - where ancient traditions continue to thrive against the backdrop of modernity
