EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph captured by the talented photographer Quilici, Folco, we are transported back to 1983 in the heart of Egypt's Nubia region. The image portrays a young girl named Nubia standing at the entrance of a village, her arms filled with water bottles. Nubia's presence exudes resilience and determination as she takes on the responsibility of collecting these essential resources for her community. Her eyes reflect both innocence and wisdom beyond her years, hinting at the challenges she may have faced growing up in this arid landscape. The composition beautifully captures the contrast between Nubia's petite frame and the towering desert backdrop that stretches endlessly behind her. The harsh sunlight casts long shadows across her path, emphasizing both her vulnerability and strength. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of how access to clean water can be scarce in certain parts of our world. It highlights not only Nubia's individual struggle but also sheds light on larger issues such as environmental sustainability and social inequality. Quilici masterfully freezes this fleeting moment in time, allowing us to witness an act of selflessness that speaks volumes about human compassion and resilience. Through his lens, he invites us to contemplate our own role in creating a more equitable society where basic necessities like clean water are accessible to all. As we gaze upon this powerful image from Alinari's collection, let us be inspired by Nubia's unwavering spirit and remember that even small acts can make a significant impact on those who need it most.
