EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph captured in 1969 by Folco Quilici, we are transported to the enchanting Sunda Islands of Bali, Indonesia. The image showcases a small altar nestled within the mighty embrace of a grand tree. As our eyes wander through the frame, we are immediately struck by the stark contrast between the delicate intricacies of human devotion and the overwhelming power of nature. The small altar, adorned with vibrant flowers and offerings, stands humbly against the backdrop of towering branches that seem to reach towards the heavens. The composition exudes an air of tranquility and spirituality as sunlight filters through gaps in foliage above, casting ethereal rays upon this sacred space. It is as if time itself has stood still for centuries within this mystical enclave. Quilici's masterful use of light and shadow adds depth to every element present in this scene. Each leaf seems to whisper secrets passed down from generations past while inviting us to contemplate their significance. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder that even amidst vast landscapes and ancient trees, human faith finds its place. It invites us to reflect on our own connection with nature and spirituality – how we seek solace in places both grandiose and intimate. Through Quilici's lens, we witness not only a visual masterpiece but also an invitation into a world where cultural traditions intertwine seamlessly with Mother Nature herself. This print captures a moment frozen in time - one that continues to inspire awe-inspiring wonderment decades later.
