EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a mesmerizing scene from the ancient Egyptian belief system. In this artwork titled "Souls are weighed by Osiris" we witness a profound moment of judgment and destiny. The unknown artist skillfully depicts the god Osiris presiding over the weighing of souls, an essential ritual in the afterlife. As each soul is delicately placed on one side of the scale, its fate hangs in balance. Depending on their deeds during their earthly existence, these souls will either soar towards freedom to join other liberated spirits or be condemned to return to animal bodies, perpetuating an endless cycle of migrations. The tomb depicted here is Biban-el-Moluk, shrouded in mystery and rich symbolism. It serves as a sacred space where justice prevails and divine judgment unfolds. The engraving showcases intricate details that bring this spiritual realm to life: from Osiris' commanding presence to the delicate scales representing cosmic equilibrium. Giancarlo Costa's masterful capture immortalizes this powerful moment with utmost respect for African culture and religious beliefs. Through his lens, he invites us into a world where spirituality intertwines with daily life—a testament to Egypt's deep-rooted connection between faith and existence. This evocative image not only celebrates ancient Egypt but also prompts contemplation about our own actions and their consequences—reminding us that every choice has weight beyond our mortal lives.
