EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the mesmerizing beauty of nature reclaiming parts of the ancient Jiankou section of the Great Wall in Huairou District, China. Taken on June 7,2017, by photographer Damir Sagolj, this image showcases how vegetation has grown over and intertwined with the historic wall. The picture transports us to a time when this architectural marvel was at its prime. The lush greenery that now adorns it adds an ethereal touch to its weathered stones. With no people in sight, we are left to contemplate the grandeur and resilience of this iconic landmark. The juxtaposition between man-made structure and natural growth creates a visually striking scene. It serves as a reminder that even our greatest achievements can be overtaken by time and nature's relentless force. Yet, there is also something poetic about witnessing these two forces coexist harmoniously. Sagolj's composition skillfully frames the mountainous backdrop against which the Great Wall stands tall. This picturesque setting further enhances our appreciation for both human ingenuity and Mother Nature's ability to transform landscapes into works of art. In this photograph, we find solace in contemplating the cyclical nature of life – where history intertwines with present-day realities and where beauty emerges from decay.
