EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Lower Juba" captured by the talented photographer Quilici, Folco in 1972, we are transported to the arid savannah of Somalia. The devastating effects of a relentless drought are vividly depicted as every pool has dried up, leaving behind a barren and cracked earth. As our eyes wander across the desolate landscape, we cannot help but be drawn to the signs left behind by majestic elephants. Despite the harsh conditions they face, these magnificent creatures have managed to leave their mark on this scorched terrain. Their footprints serve as a reminder of their resilience and adaptability in even the harshest environments. The image evokes a sense of both beauty and despair; it is an intimate portrayal of nature's struggle for survival against unforgiving circumstances. The burnt hues that dominate the photograph create an atmosphere of desolation and vulnerability. Quilici's skillful composition allows us to contemplate not only the immediate impact of drought but also its long-lasting consequences on wildlife habitats and ecosystems. It serves as a poignant reminder that climate change can have far-reaching implications for all living beings. This powerful photograph invites us to reflect upon our responsibility towards preserving our planet's delicate balance. It urges us to take action against environmental degradation and work towards sustainable solutions that protect both humans and animals alike. "Lower Juba" stands as a testament to Quilici's ability to capture profound moments in time while shedding light on pressing global issues through his lens.
