EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a hauntingly beautiful scene from the Celtic sanctuary of Roquepertuse in France. The image captures a portico adorned with skulls, offering a glimpse into the enigmatic world of ancient mythology and beliefs surrounding death. The intricate architectural features of the portico are highlighted, drawing attention to the skill and craftsmanship of its creators. The pillars stand tall and sturdy, providing an imposing backdrop for the macabre display of skulls. Each skull tells a story, representing lives once lived and now immortalized in this sacred space. The vibrant colors captured in this photograph bring life to an otherwise somber subject matter. They serve as a reminder that even in death, there is beauty to be found. This artifact serves as a testament to the rich cultural heritage of France and its deep connection to Celtic traditions. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, our imagination takes us back centuries ago when these rituals were performed within these walls. It sparks curiosity about the beliefs held by those who built this sanctuary and their reverence for death. This print is not just an object; it is a portal into another time and place – one filled with mystery, symbolism, and profound meaning.
