EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the enchanting Komodo Island in Indonesia, where a remarkable encounter with a gigantic varan unfolds. The year is 1969, and amidst the lush tropical scenery, we witness a scene that encapsulates the rich cultural tapestry of this region. A group of indigenously dressed Indonesians stands in awe as they come face to face with this majestic creature. Their expressions reveal a mix of curiosity, respect, and perhaps even a hint of trepidation. This meeting between man and reptile serves as an emblematic representation of the harmonious coexistence between humans and nature on Komodo Island. The photograph not only captures the physicality of these asiatic populations but also provides us with glimpses into their deep-rooted connection to their land. It invites us to ponder upon questions related to anthropology, ethnography, folklore - what stories do these people hold about such encounters? What significance does this varan hold within their culture? As we delve deeper into this image's narrative, our attention is drawn towards the magnificent varan itself. Towering over its human counterparts, it exudes power and grace while showcasing its unique features - scaly skin glistening under sunlight; sharp claws ready for action; piercing eyes that seem to possess ancient wisdom. In essence, Quilici Folco's photograph transports us beyond time and space – inviting contemplation on themes ranging from population dynamics to national identity. It reminds us that despite our differences in species or nationality, we are all interconnected within the intricate web of life on Earth.
