EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Sicily. Egadi Islands. Favignana. Historic stone quarries" taken by the talented photographer Quilici, Folco in 2008, transports us to the enchanting island of Favignana in Sicily's Egadi archipelago. The image captures the essence of this picturesque location and its rich historical heritage. The focal point of the photograph is undoubtedly the historic stone quarries that have shaped Favignana's identity for centuries. These ancient quarries are a testament to human ingenuity and determination, as they were carved out by hand over generations. The intricate patterns and textures on these massive stones tell stories of hard work and craftsmanship. The composition skillfully balances light and shadow, creating a dramatic interplay that adds depth to the scene. Sunlight filters through narrow openings in the quarry walls, casting ethereal rays onto rough-hewn surfaces below. This interplay between light and darkness evokes a sense of mystery while highlighting nature's ability to reclaim what was once man-made. As we gaze at this mesmerizing print, we can almost hear echoes from history reverberating within these silent walls – whispers from workers who tirelessly toiled here long ago or perhaps even tales shared among friends seeking refuge from scorching summer days. Quilici, Folco's keen eye has captured not only an exquisite moment frozen in time but also an important piece of Sicilian history that deserves recognition and preservation. Through his lens, he invites us into a world where past meets present; where nature intertwines with human endeavors; where beauty emerges from ruggedness. This remarkable print serves as both a visual feast for our eyes and a reminder of how places like Favignana hold secrets waiting patiently to be discovered by those willing to explore their depths further.
