EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the solemn beauty of the tomb of Emperor Menelik II, a revered figure in Ethiopian history. Located within a sacred space, this ethereal monument stands as a testament to his enduring legacy and the profound impact he had on his people. The intricate details and architectural grandeur of the tomb are awe-inspiring, reflecting both the spiritual significance and historical importance it holds. Beside Emperor Menelik's resting place lies another tomb that contains the remains of Empress Taitu, his beloved wife. This poignant juxtaposition symbolizes their eternal bond and shared journey even in death. As one gazes upon this photograph, there is an overwhelming sense of reverence and spirituality that emanates from within. The presence of Christianity is palpable throughout this image; it speaks to Ethiopia's deep-rooted faith and its rich religious heritage. The Roman Catholic influences are evident in the ornate decorations adorning the walls while also embracing elements from Coptic traditions. It serves as a reminder that religion has played an integral role in shaping Ethiopian culture for centuries. Within these hallowed walls, one can almost feel a connection to something greater than themselves – a spiritual energy that transcends time and space. This photograph invites us to contemplate our own beliefs, reminding us of the power faith holds in providing solace and guidance amidst life's uncertainties. Philippe Lissac's masterful composition allows us to witness not only an architectural marvel but also offers insight into Ethiopia's complex tapestry of religion
