EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph taken by Folco Quilici in 1962, we are transported to the serene beach of Kayar in Senegal. The image beautifully captures a scene that is both timeless and evocative, showcasing the harmonious relationship between man and nature. A group of skilled fishermen can be seen standing on the sandy shore, their weathered faces reflecting years of hard work under the scorching African sun. With their strong hands gripping fishing nets and baskets filled with freshly caught fish, they embody a deep connection to their vocation as well as an intimate understanding of the sea's bounty. The composition exudes a sense of tranquility as these men go about their daily routine amidst crashing waves and endless horizons. Their presence on this picturesque beach serves as a reminder that fishing is not merely an occupation but also an integral part of their identity, culture, and heritage. Quilici's masterful use of light and shadow adds depth to the image, accentuating every line etched onto each face while highlighting the shimmering scales adorning countless fish sprawled across wooden boats nearby. It is through his lens that we gain insight into the intricate world beneath those azure waters - one teeming with life and sustenance for these coastal communities. This photograph transcends time; it encapsulates not only a moment frozen forever but also offers us a glimpse into centuries-old traditions passed down from generation to generation. It celebrates resilience, unity, and reverence for nature's abundance – qualities embodied by these black Africans who have long thrived along Senegal's coastline. As we gaze upon this powerful snapshot captured by Quilici's discerning eye, we cannot help but feel humbled by humanity's profound connection with our natural surroundings – reminding us that even in today’s fast-paced world there are still places where tradition reigns supreme.
