It's near Wadi Musa, which means Valley of Moses in Arabic. It's said that the prophet passed through the valley and struck water from rock for his followers at the site of Ain Musa ("Moses's Well"). The Nabateans built channels that carried water from this spring to the city of Petra. The tomb of Aaron, the supposed burial site of the biblical Aaron, brother of Moses, is on nearby Mount Hor. I am not a very religious person, but it seems appropriate to reference the biblical quality of the proportion of this pandemic. Not unlike the plagues described in the Old Testament, the coronavirus has decimated everything in its path, reminding us how small and fragile we are, and what an end of civilization might look like. Inspired by these parallels, I found myself photographing some of the ancient biblical sites in Jordan, searching for allegories that could help make sense of the anxious times we are all living through.」7月13日 11時35分
