EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by Galassi from Alinari, we are transported back in time to May 1914. The image, titled "FVQ-F-176839-0000" presents us with a thought-provoking portrait of a young boy during his adolescence. The subject's age is evident through the delicate balance between childhood innocence and emerging maturity that radiates from his expressive face. His piercing eyes seem to hold a wealth of untold stories and dreams yet to be realized. With each line etched on his forehead and every contour of his cheeks, we catch glimpses into the physiological and psychological aspects shaping him as an individual. Dressed immaculately in a tie, he exudes an air of sophistication beyond his years. This accessory becomes symbolic not only of fashion and clothing but also serves as a metaphor for the societal expectations placed upon him at such a tender age. Galassi's masterful composition draws our attention to various parts of the boy's body, highlighting both vulnerability and strength. While clothed, there is an underlying sense that this portrait delves deeper into exploring notions surrounding nudity and the human form – capturing not just physicality but also emotional nakedness. This male adolescent stares directly into our souls through Galassi's lens, inviting us to reflect on our own experiences during those transformative years. We cannot help but wonder about the dreams he holds within himself or what lies ahead for him in life. "FVQ-F-176839-0000" stands as more than just another photograph; it encapsulates the essence of adolescence itself – its complexities, uncertainties, hopes, fears – all frozen in time by Galassi's artistry behind the camera lens.
