EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "At the pool of Beles Cogani, a nomad bringing a herd of camels to drink" captured by renowned photographer Quilici Folco in Somalia in 1972, we are transported into the heart of an ancient and timeless scene. The image showcases the harmonious coexistence between humans and animals amidst the arid landscapes. As our eyes wander across the frame, we are immediately drawn to the central figure - a nomadic herder gracefully leading his majestic herd towards a shimmering oasis. The composition is strikingly balanced; each element carefully placed to emphasize both the vastness of nature and man's humble presence within it. The vibrant colors add depth and life to this snapshot frozen in time. The golden hues of sand dunes contrast with the deep blue sky above, while shades of brown blend seamlessly with earthy tones that dominate both man and beast alike. It is through these rich colors that we can almost feel the heat radiating from beneath our feet. This photograph not only captures a fleeting moment but also encapsulates centuries-old traditions passed down through generations. It reminds us of humanity's profound connection with nature - one that transcends borders, cultures, and time itself. Quilici Folco's lens has immortalized this poignant encounter between man and animal at Beles Cogani pool forever. Through his artistry, he invites us to reflect on our own relationship with nature – urging us to cherish its beauty while recognizing our responsibility as stewards for its preservation. This remarkable print serves as an enduring testament to resilience, harmony, and symbiosis – reminding us that even in some of Earth's harshest environments, there exists an undeniable bond between mankind and their natural surroundings.
