EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph captured by Quilici, Folco, we are transported to the serene grounds of the Shofukuji Zen monastery in Kobe, Japan. The image focuses on a poignant scene - the cemetery of the monks. As our gaze wanders through the frame, we can't help but be drawn into the tranquil atmosphere that permeates every inch of this sacred space. The composition is beautifully balanced; rows upon rows of simple gravestones stretch out before us, each one a testament to a life dedicated to spiritual enlightenment. The monochromatic palette adds depth and timelessness to the image, enhancing its meditative quality. Shadows dance delicately across weathered stone surfaces as if whispering secrets from centuries past. It's as though time itself has slowed down within these hallowed grounds. One cannot help but feel a sense of reverence and respect for those who have come before us in pursuit of inner peace and wisdom. Their legacy lives on through these humble markers that dot the landscape like whispers in eternity. This photograph serves as an invitation for introspection and contemplation – an opportunity to reflect upon our own journey towards self-discovery amidst life's transience. It reminds us that even in death, there is beauty and serenity to be found. Quilici's masterful capture transports us beyond mere pixels or ink on paper; it allows us to experience a moment frozen in time at this profound place where spirituality intertwines with nature. Through his lens, he invites us into a world where silence speaks volumes and stillness holds infinite possibilities. Let this evocative print serve as a gentle reminder that amidst life's chaos, finding solace within ourselves is possible – just as generations before have done so here at Kobe's Shofukuji Zen monastery.
