EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "From the air. Desert zones at the boundaries of the savannah" transports us to the vast and untamed landscapes of Somalia in 1972. Through the lens of renowned photographer Quilici, Folco, we are granted a bird's-eye view of nature's contrasting elements. As our gaze hovers above this breathtaking scene, we witness an extraordinary meeting point between two distinct ecosystems: the arid desert and the fertile savannah. The composition is strikingly beautiful as it captures these opposing worlds merging seamlessly into one another. The photograph showcases a mesmerizing palette of earthy tones that dominate both terrains. The desolate desert stretches out like an endless sea of golden sand dunes, its undulating patterns creating a sense of movement frozen in time. In stark contrast, patches of vibrant green mark the boundaries where life flourishes within the savannah's embrace. Quilici's masterful use of aerial perspective allows us to appreciate not only the grandeur but also comprehend how fragile this delicate balance is. It serves as a poignant reminder that even amidst harsh conditions, life finds a way to persist and thrive. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, this image invites contemplation on humanity's relationship with nature and our responsibility towards preserving such precious ecosystems. It urges us to reflect upon our impact on these environments and consider sustainable practices for their preservation. "From the air. Desert zones at the boundaries of Savannah" by Quilici offers more than just visual delight; it prompts introspection about our place within Earth's intricate web of life while reminding us that beauty can be found even in seemingly inhospitable places like Somalia’s desert-savannah borderlands.
