EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph transports us back in time to ancient Greece, specifically the Mycenian civilization around 1200 BC. The image showcases a remarkable Western staircase that served as the main access point to the Mycenian citadel in Tiryns, Peloponnese. The grandeur of this architectural marvel is evident as we observe its intricate design and sturdy construction. Each step seems to hold centuries of history within its worn surface. This staircase was not merely functional but also symbolized power and prestige, serving as a testament to the advanced engineering skills possessed by the Mycenaean people. As our eyes wander up the stairs, we can imagine countless individuals ascending them throughout history – warriors returning from battle, merchants carrying their goods, or perhaps even royalty making their way towards the heart of this fortified city. The composition of this photograph captures both strength and beauty simultaneously. The stone walls on either side create a sense of enclosure while emphasizing the verticality of these steps leading skyward. It is through images like these that we gain insight into ancient civilizations and appreciate their contributions to human progress. Luisa Ricciarini's skillful photography allows us to appreciate not only the physical remnants left behind by past cultures but also invites us to contemplate our own place within an ever-evolving world.
