EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the awe-inspiring Moais, stone statues that are emblematic of the Rapa Nui culture on Easter Island. The image captures a breathtaking view of these ancient sculptures standing tall on the Ahu Tongariki site, against the backdrop of a picturesque sunset. Taken by renowned photographer Gregory Boissy in August 2013, this photograph transports us to this remote island located 3700 km off the Chilean coast in the Pacific Ocean. The Moais themselves are an archaeological wonder and hold immense cultural significance for both locals and visitors alike. Carved with intricate details by Polynesians centuries ago, these colossal figures have become iconic symbols of Easter Island's rich history and mysterious past. As daylight fades into dusk, their silhouettes stand out majestically against a vibrant sky painted with hues of orange and purple. This UNESCO World Heritage site is not only an archeological treasure but also serves as a reminder of human ingenuity and creativity. The presence of these stoic statues amidst such natural beauty evokes a sense of wonderment and curiosity about our ancestors' achievements. Gregory Boissy's masterful composition beautifully captures this moment in time when tradition meets nature's splendor. This print allows us to bring home a piece of Easter Island's magic while honoring its heritage through artistry and storytelling.
