EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Bruno Barbier/Robert Harding transports us to the enchanting island of Dek, located on Lake Tana in the Gondar region of Ethiopia. The image showcases a small group of Ethiopian men sitting outside the magnificent Narga Selassie church, engaged in their daily work. As we gaze at this vertical composition, we are immediately drawn to the intricate thatching process taking place before our eyes. With reeds in hand and intense focus on their task, these skilled thatchers diligently weave together each strand to create a sturdy roof for the church. The vibrant African landscape serves as an awe-inspiring backdrop for this scene. Surrounded by lush greenery and with Lake Tana shimmering nearby, it is evident why this destination is sought after by travelers from around the world. In this snapshot frozen in time, we witness not only the laborious efforts of these hardworking individuals but also gain insight into their rich cultural heritage. Their presence reminds us of the resilience and resourcefulness found within communities across Africa. Bruno Barbier/Robert Harding's photography skillfully captures both the beauty of nature and human determination. This print invites us to reflect upon our own connection with travel and exploration while appreciating those who dedicate themselves to preserving architectural wonders like Narga Selassie church.
