Limited Edition
Petra, Jordan
Ad Deir at Rest
from £20
The Monastery stands 45 metres tall. You only understand the scale when you notice the two donkeys resting in the courtyard — barely visible, but absolutely essential.
Ad Deir is the largest monument in Petra. Numbers don’t convey it — 45 metres tall, carved from solid rock, hidden at the top of a mountain. What does convey it is the moment a viewer notices the two donkeys resting at the base of the columns: tiny, unhurried, ancient in their own way.
That discovery — the sudden recalibration of scale — is what this print is built around. It happens every time someone looks at it long enough. At A2, the donkeys are easy to miss for the first few seconds, and then impossible to unsee. That’s the joke and the point.
Pairs beautifully with The Monastery (the closer, rock-framed version) for a two-print display.
