High above, on a barren, ochre-coloured hill, it sits enthroned: the old citadel of Palmyra. It sits on the plateau almost like a crown, visible from every corner of the ruined city. A silent witness to thousands of years of history - and a symbol of protection and overview. The citadel is not just a striking structure, it is a landmark, a sentinel in the desert, watching the passage of time.
Ancient Palmyra stretches out in the foreground - scattered stones, the remains of columns, silent reminders of a once splendid metropolis. The path to the citadel seems like an invitation: Those who dare to make the climb are rewarded with a panoramic view that is unrivalled. But the view from below alone conveys a sense of awe - of nature, of history, of transience.
This motif lives from its vastness, simplicity and symbolic power. It is an image that creates space - in every room and in your own head. For all those who like to look back in order to better understand today.
