EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph taken in 1969 by renowned photographer Folco Quilici, we are transported to the enchanting Sunda Islands of Bali. The image captures a moment filled with youthful joy and boundless imagination as local boys engage in their favorite pastime - playing games with models of sailing canoes. The scene is set against the backdrop of Indonesia's mesmerizing Bali Island, known for its rich cultural heritage and stunning natural beauty. The boys, barefooted and dressed in traditional attire, gather around their meticulously crafted miniature boats. With intense concentration etched on their faces, they skillfully navigate these tiny vessels through imaginary waves. Their hands delicately maneuver the sails while their eyes follow every twist and turn of the wind. It is evident that these young sailors possess an innate connection to the sea; a bond passed down through generations from seafaring ancestors who once explored these very waters. Quilici's masterful composition not only captures the innocence and exuberance of childhood but also offers us a glimpse into a world untouched by modern technology. In this simpler time, where playtime meant engaging with handmade toys rather than screens or gadgets, children found solace in nature's wonders. As we gaze upon this evocative print from Alinari, we cannot help but be reminded of our own childhood adventures - those moments when our imaginations ran wild amidst endless possibilities. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder that even in today's fast-paced world, there is still magic to be found within simple pleasures if only we take a moment to look closely enough. Quilici has immortalized this fleeting instant forever – an everlasting testament to the universal language spoken by children at play across cultures and continents alike.
