EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Folco Quilici, we are transported to the mesmerizing landscapes of Greenland's Disko Bay. The image showcases an Eskimo and his trusty waterproof kayak gracefully skirting an imposing ice cliff near Attu. The photograph, taken in 1976, encapsulates the raw beauty and harsh conditions of the polar regions. As we gaze at the scene, we are immediately struck by the vastness of the icy surroundings and their breathtaking natural elements. Towering above them is a colossal ice cliff that seems to defy gravity with its sheer magnitude. The Eskimo in his kayak becomes a symbol of resilience and adaptability as he navigates through these treacherous waters. His vessel serves as both transportation and protection from the frigid environment surrounding him. It is a testament to human ingenuity in crafting tools suited for survival amidst such challenging terrain. Quilici's composition skillfully captures not only the grandeur of nature but also invites us into a momentary glimpse of life in this remote corner of Greenland. The contrasting hues between pristine white ice, deep blue water, and hints of earthy tones on distant landforms create a visually striking tableau. As viewers, we find ourselves drawn into this frozen world where time stands still – where man coexists with nature's most formidable forces. This photograph evokes feelings of awe and wonderment while reminding us how small we are compared to Earth's majestic wonders. Quilici masterfully transports us through space and time with his lens, offering a window into one man's journey against an unforgiving backdrop. It serves as an invitation for armchair adventurers like ourselves to explore these polar realms vicariously through artistry that immortalizes moments like these forevermore
