EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Orange seashells (Cypraea?) Somalia" by Quilici, Folco takes us on a mesmerizing journey to the shores of Somalia in 1972. The image showcases an exquisite collection of vibrant orange seashells, possibly belonging to the Cypraea species. The composition is a testament to the photographer's keen eye for detail and appreciation for nature's intricate beauty. Each shell seems to possess its own unique character and story, as if they were carefully handpicked treasures from the ocean floor. The warm hues of orange radiate with an undeniable energy, evoking feelings of warmth and serenity. It is as though these shells have absorbed the essence of their surroundings – the sun-kissed beaches and crystal-clear waters that define this coastal region. Quilici skillfully captures both the fragility and resilience found within these delicate seashells. Their smooth surfaces reflect light effortlessly, creating a subtle play between shadow and illumination that adds depth to each individual piece. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported back in time; it serves as a window into an era long gone but not forgotten. It offers us a glimpse into Somalia's rich natural heritage before political turmoil reshaped its landscape. Beyond being visually striking, this print invites contemplation about our connection with nature and how even seemingly insignificant objects can hold immense value when viewed through an artist's lens. In sum, Quilici's "Orange seashells (Cypraea?) Somalia" encapsulates both aesthetic beauty and historical significance. It stands as a timeless reminder of our planet's diverse wonders while honoring the meticulous craftsmanship behind Alinari prints themselves.
