Glittering spires of copper candelabras, and the national flag flank the steps to the tomb of King Mohammed V, Morocco's most important modern ruler (1927-1961). I found a vantage point that allowed me to layer the image, placing the spires in the foreground layer and the flag in the background layer. The spires on the candelabra reflect the sun, and symbolize royal authority. The Moroccan flag is a symbol as well – its green pentagram represents Solomon’s seal – it origin dates back to the Babylonian Empire. It symbolizes the link between God and the nation. Morocco is an Islamic country, and the King is regarded as a descendant of Mohammed. In fact, virtually all aspects of a tomb – its architecture and its decoration, are associated in one way or another with symbolism. As a photographer, I try to abstract and juxtapose such symbols to intensify meaning.
