EDITORS COMMENTS
Capturing the essence of an African postcard, this stunning print titled "Savannah at the edge of Mogadishu" transports us to a bygone era. Taken in 1972 by renowned photographer Folco Quilici, it showcases the breathtaking beauty of Somalia's capital city bathed in the warm hues of a splendid sunset. As our gaze wanders across the vast savannah stretching towards the horizon, we are reminded of nature's untamed magnificence. The golden grasses sway gently in the evening breeze, creating a mesmerizing dance that seems to harmonize with the fading light. It is as if time stands still here, allowing us to witness an eternal moment frozen within this frame. Mogadishu itself remains hidden from view, shrouded behind a veil of mystery and intrigue. Yet its presence can be felt through subtle hints: distant silhouettes hinting at bustling streets and vibrant markets; whispers carried on gentle winds echoing tales of resilience and cultural richness. Quilici masterfully captures this fleeting scene with his lens, immortalizing not only a geographical location but also evoking emotions deep within our souls. Through his lens, he invites us to contemplate life's transient beauty and ponder upon our place within this grand tapestry called Earth. This photograph serves as a testament to Quilici's artistic prowess and keen eye for detail. His ability to encapsulate both natural splendor and human connection is evident here – reminding us that even amidst chaos or uncertainty, there exists moments where tranquility prevails. Allow yourself to be transported back in time as you gaze upon this remarkable piece – let your imagination wander through Somalia's captivating landscapes while basking in the warmth radiating from that unforgettable African sunset.
