EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph captured by the talented photographer Quilici, Folco, we are transported back in time to the enchanting Sunda Islands. Specifically, our gaze is fixed upon Flores Island, where a group of fishermen have gathered on its pristine sandy beach. The year was 1969 when this timeless image was immortalized. The composition of the photo is truly remarkable as it beautifully captures the essence of daily life on Flores Island. The rugged coastline stretches out before us as waves gently caress the shore, creating a soothing symphony that seems to echo through time itself. Against this picturesque backdrop stands a group of weathered fishermen who have dedicated their lives to harnessing the bounties of the sea. Their presence exudes an air of tranquility and camaraderie as they engage in animated conversations while tending to their fishing nets and boats. Each face tells a unique story etched with lines that speak volumes about their experiences at sea. Their traditional attire reflects both practicality and cultural heritage, adding vibrant splashes of color against the monochromatic landscape. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder not only of Indonesia's rich maritime traditions but also highlights how communities rely on one another for sustenance and support amidst nature's unpredictable whims. It encapsulates an era long gone yet forever preserved within these frames. Quilici, Folco's masterful lens has allowed us to peer into history and witness firsthand moments frozen in time; moments that capture humanity's resilience and interconnectedness with nature. As we admire this evocative print from Alinari, let us reflect upon our own relationship with both land and sea – cherishing them for all they provide while acknowledging our responsibility towards preserving these fragile ecosystems for generations yet unborn
