EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Sunda Islands. Island of Bali. A sacred source of fresh water" takes us on a visual journey to the enchanting island of Bali in Indonesia. Captured by the talented photographer Quilici, Folco in 1969, this image encapsulates the essence and spirituality that lies within this tropical paradise. The photograph transports us to a serene location where nature's beauty meets religious significance. In the foreground, we see an ancient stone structure adorned with intricate carvings standing tall against the lush backdrop of palm trees and dense foliage. This structure serves as a gateway to something extraordinary - a sacred source of fresh water. Bali is renowned for its numerous holy springs believed to possess healing powers and divine energy. These natural springs hold immense importance in Balinese Hinduism as they are considered direct connections between humans and deities. The presence of such a revered site evokes feelings of reverence and tranquility. Quilici's masterful composition draws our attention towards the focal point – an intricately carved spout from which crystal-clear water flows gracefully into a small pool below. The interplay between light and shadow adds depth to the image, enhancing its ethereal quality. As we gaze upon this timeless photograph, we can almost hear the gentle trickle of water mingling with distant temple chants carried by soft breezes across rice terraces nearby. It reminds us that amidst modernization, Bali has managed to preserve its spiritual heritage while embracing progress. Quilici's lens captures not just an exquisite landscape but also invites contemplation about humanity's connection with nature and divinity itself - reminding us that there is profound beauty in simplicity if only we take time to appreciate it fully.
