EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Termite colony in the savannah" transports us to the vast expanse of the Somali savannah in 1972. Taken by renowned photographer Quilici Folco, this print from Alinari captures a mesmerizing scene that unveils nature's intricate wonders. In this snapshot, we are granted a glimpse into the hidden world of termite colonies thriving amidst the arid plains. The composition is strikingly balanced, with an expansive horizon stretching out behind them. The sheer scale of their habitat becomes apparent as we witness countless termites diligently constructing their intricate mounds. The meticulous attention to detail showcased in this image is awe-inspiring. Each tiny insect seems purposeful and focused on its task at hand - building towering structures that rise like ancient monuments against the backdrop of endless grasslands. These architectural marvels serve as both shelter and fortress for these resilient creatures who have mastered survival in such harsh conditions. Quilici Folco's masterful use of light and shadow adds depth to the photograph, accentuating every texture and contour within these remarkable termite dwellings. It reminds us that even in seemingly desolate landscapes, life thrives relentlessly. As we gaze upon this timeless image captured almost half a century ago, it serves as a reminder of our planet's incredible biodiversity and resilience. It invites contemplation about our own place within this delicate ecosystem – how interconnected we are with all living beings sharing Earth's precious resources. "Termite colony in the savannah" not only showcases Quilici Folco's artistic prowess but also offers us an opportunity to reflect on nature’s grandeur while appreciating its smallest inhabitants' immense contributions to our world.
