EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by David Mercado, the silhouette of the Ponce Monolith emerges majestically against the backdrop of the Tiahuanaco ruins on a significant day - the winter solstice. The image captures a low angle view, showcasing the monolith's imposing presence and its profound connection to ancient Bolivian history. The composition is strikingly enhanced by an interplay of light and shadow, as the black-colored monolith stands in stark contrast against a clear blue sky. With creative use of space, Mercado skillfully frames this monumental stone structure within his lens, allowing viewers to appreciate its grandeur and significance. This photograph not only showcases nature's elements but also highlights man-made marvels that have stood the test of time. The absence of people emphasizes both solitude and reverence for this historical site. As we gaze upon this weathered monolith, we are reminded of our environment's ability to preserve stories from centuries past. Mercado's artistic vision invites us to reflect on Bolivia's rich cultural heritage while appreciating how these ancient structures continue to inspire awe today. This image serves as a reminder that even amidst modernity, remnants from our past can still captivate our imagination and connect us with our roots.
