EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us on a journey to the ancient city of Babylon in Iraq, where history and culture intertwine. The image showcases the Musa’ussu (sirrush) and aurochs relief, an exquisite piece of architectural artwork that stands as a testament to the rich heritage of this Middle Eastern destination. The vibrant colors of blue and orange beautifully highlight the intricate details carved into the stone, capturing our attention from afar. As we delve deeper into the photograph, we are drawn towards the animal likeness depicted in this relief - a Mushussu (sirrush), with its mythical features, alongside an imposing aurochs. The side view perspective allows us to appreciate their full length and magnificence against the backdrop of Babylon's old buildings. This representation not only reflects traditional Middle Eastern culture but also serves as a reminder of how animals have been revered throughout history. With no people present in this scene, we are left alone to immerse ourselves in this historical treasure. It is through images like these that we can connect with our past and gain insight into civilizations long gone. Photographer Michael Runkel has skillfully captured both the beauty and significance of this cultural relic. This extraordinary print invites us to explore not only Babylon's architectural wonders but also ignites our curiosity about other hidden gems waiting to be discovered across Iraq's mesmerizing landscapes.
