EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Sinai. Red Sea views from the sky of the oil platforms and burners" by Quilici, Folco takes us on a mesmerizing journey above Egypt's Sinai Peninsula. The year is 1987, and through this aerial perspective, we are transported to a world where land meets sea in an extraordinary display of industrial marvel. As our eyes explore the image, we are immediately drawn to the sprawling expanse of the Red Sea beneath us. Its crystal-clear waters shimmer with hues ranging from deep sapphire blues to vibrant turquoise greens, creating a stunning contrast against the rugged coastline that stretches out before us. However, it is not just nature's beauty that captivates our attention; it is also man-made structures that dot this picturesque landscape. Rising majestically from the water's surface are towering oil platforms adorned with intricate machinery and pipelines. These colossal structures serve as silent sentinels overseeing vast expanses of oceanic activity. The burners scattered across these platforms emit fiery plumes into the air—a testament to human ingenuity harnessing energy from beneath Earth's surface. They create an ethereal spectacle against the backdrop of azure skies and golden sunlight streaming through fluffy clouds. Quilici's masterful composition allows us to appreciate both nature's grandeur and humanity's impact on its surroundings simultaneously. It prompts contemplation about our relationship with natural resources while showcasing mankind’s ability to conquer even inhospitable environments for progress. In this single frame frozen in time, Quilici captures not only a breathtaking scene but also invites viewers into a momentous dialogue between industry and environment—an ever-relevant topic that continues to shape our world today.
