EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Quilici, Folco takes us on a visual journey to the serene and enchanting Ryoanji Zen temple in Kyoto, Japan. The focal point of this image is the renowned "Garden of Rocks" which exudes an aura of tranquility and spiritual contemplation. The composition showcases the delicate balance between landscapes, structure, and architecture that defines this sacred place. The Zen temple's traditional wooden structures harmoniously blend with the natural elements surrounding it, creating a seamless connection between man-made design and nature's inherent beauty. The garden itself is a testament to the artistry of rock arrangement or karesansui. Each meticulously placed stone symbolizes mountains or islands emerging from an ocean-like sea of raked gravel. This geomorphological masterpiece invites viewers to reflect upon their own existence while embracing the simplicity and harmony found within nature. Amidst these carefully arranged rocks lies an array of plant life - vibrant green vegetation that adds depth and contrast to the scene. A solitary tree stands tall against a backdrop of lush foliage, its branches reaching towards heaven as if seeking enlightenment. Completing this idyllic setting is a tranquil lake pond mirroring both architectural marvels and natural wonders alike. Its still waters reflect not only physical forms but also evoke inner introspection for those who gaze upon it. Through his lens, Quilici captures not just a moment frozen in time but also encapsulates centuries worth of history, culture, spirituality, and artistic expression embodied within Ryoanji Zen temple's "Garden of Rocks". This photograph serves as a powerful reminder that even amidst our modern world's chaos; there are places where one can find solace in nature's embrace – where rocks become more than mere stones; they become conduits for self-discovery and serenity.
