EDITORS COMMENTS
Capturing the essence of Hong Kong's maritime heritage, this print titled "Hong Kong. Junks sailing" by Quilici, Folco takes us on a nostalgic journey back to 1977. The image transports us to a time when traditional Chinese junks gracefully sailed through the bustling waters surrounding this vibrant city. In this snapshot frozen in time, we witness the harmonious coexistence between tradition and modernity. Against the backdrop of towering skyscrapers and neon-lit signs that symbolize Hong Kong's rapid urbanization, these elegant junks stand as a testament to its rich cultural history. The photographer skillfully captures the beauty of these wooden vessels with their distinctive red sails billowing in the wind against an azure sky. Each junk seems to possess its own unique character as they navigate through Victoria Harbour, leaving trails of gentle ripples in their wake. This photograph not only showcases the visual splendor of Hong Kong but also serves as a reminder of its deep-rooted connection with seafaring traditions. It invites viewers to reflect upon how centuries-old customs seamlessly blend with contemporary life in this cosmopolitan metropolis. As we gaze at this mesmerizing scene from decades ago, we are transported into an era where simplicity reigned supreme amidst a rapidly changing world. This print allows us to appreciate both the timeless allure and ever-evolving nature of Hong Kong—a city that continues to captivate hearts around the globe. Quilici, Folco's work immortalizes an iconic moment in Hong Kong's history while reminding us all about our collective responsibility towards preserving our cultural heritage for future generations.
