EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph titled "Jalalaxi: in the Ogaden refugee camp, children with bowls of condensed milk" taken by renowned photographer Folco Quilici in 1972, we are transported to a moment frozen in time. The image captures the essence of resilience and hope amidst adversity. Set against the backdrop of the Ogaden refugee camp in Somalia, a group of children huddles together, their eyes shining with anticipation as they clutch bowls filled with precious condensed milk. Their faces bear witness to a life marked by displacement and hardship, yet there is an undeniable spark that transcends their circumstances. The simplicity of this scene speaks volumes about the power of human connection and compassion. In their innocent smiles lies a testament to the enduring spirit that can thrive even in the most challenging environments. It reminds us that no matter how dire our circumstances may be, it is often through small acts of kindness and shared moments like these that we find solace and strength. Quilici's masterful composition draws our attention to every detail - from the worn-out clothes adorning these resilient young souls to their eager expressions reflecting both hunger for nourishment and thirst for love. Through his lens, he invites us into their world; one where innocence coexists with struggle. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder not only of past hardships but also as an inspiration for future generations. It urges us all to reflect on our own lives and consider how we can make a difference – whether big or small – in alleviating suffering around us. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece captured by Quilici's discerning eye, let it serve as an invitation to embrace empathy, extend kindness unconditionally, and strive towards creating a world where no child has to rely solely on condensed milk for sustenance or comfort ever again.
