EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "A sacred source of fresh water, Sunda Islands, Bali" captured by the talented photographer Quilici Folco in 1969, we are transported to the enchanting Indonesian island of Bali. The image beautifully encapsulates the essence of spirituality and reverence that permeates through every aspect of Balinese culture. The focal point of this photograph is a pristine natural spring, gushing forth with crystal-clear water. This sacred source serves as a lifeline for both physical and spiritual nourishment for the local community residing on the Sunda Islands. Surrounded by lush greenery and vibrant tropical flowers, it exudes an aura of tranquility and purity. The composition skillfully captures not only the visual beauty but also conveys a sense of deep respect towards nature's gifts. The play between light and shadow adds depth to the scene while highlighting the significance attached to this precious resource. Bali Island has long been revered as a place where ancient traditions intertwine harmoniously with modern life. Its people hold great reverence for their surroundings, believing that each element possesses its own divine spirit. Through this photograph, Quilici Folco invites us to witness one such embodiment – an oasis brimming with vitality amidst an ever-changing world. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Alinari's collection, we cannot help but be reminded of our responsibility to cherish and protect these invaluable sources that sustain life itself. It serves as a poignant reminder that even in today's fast-paced society, there are still places where humans find solace in nature's embrace – places like Bali where tradition meets serenity at every turn. Quilici Folco's photographic masterpiece transports us beyond time and space into a realm where spirituality flows freely alongside freshwater springs - forever etching its memory within our hearts.
