EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "A dam on the lower Nile" transports us back to Egypt in 1968, capturing a moment of monumental engineering achievement. Taken by the talented photographer Quilici, Folco, this image showcases the awe-inspiring presence of a grand dam that stands tall against the backdrop of the mighty Nile River. The composition is strikingly balanced as it draws our attention to both natural and man-made elements. The flowing waters of the Nile dominate the foreground, their gentle ripples reflecting sunlight with an ethereal glow. As our gaze moves upward, we are met with an imposing structure that spans across the river's width - a testament to human ingenuity and determination. The dam itself appears colossal; its concrete walls rise high into the sky like guardians protecting Egypt from nature's unpredictable forces. Its construction represents not only a feat of engineering but also symbolizes progress and development for this ancient land. Quilici's masterful use of light and shadow adds depth to this photograph, emphasizing every intricate detail etched onto its surface. The play between highlights and shadows creates a sense of drama while highlighting textures that range from smooth concrete surfaces to rough edges where water meets stone. In this single frame frozen in time, we witness history unfolding before our eyes – an enduring reminder of mankind's ability to shape landscapes for generations to come. This remarkable photograph invites us to reflect upon humanity's relationship with nature and marvel at our capacity for innovation. As we contemplate "A dam on the lower Nile" let us appreciate both its visual splendor captured by Quilici's lens as well as its historical significance within Egypt’s rich tapestry.
