EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Work in the rice fields, Sunda Islands, Bali" transports us back to the lush landscapes of Indonesia's enchanting Bali Island in 1969. Taken by renowned photographer Folco Quilici, this timeless print captures a poignant moment of labor and harmony amidst the vibrant rice fields. The image showcases a group of Balinese farmers diligently tending to their crops under the radiant tropical sun. With their traditional conical hats shielding them from its intensity, they gracefully bend over rows upon rows of emerald green rice plants. Their synchronized movements reveal a deep-rooted connection with nature as they nurture the very source of sustenance for their community. Quilici's expert composition draws our attention to both the individuals and their collective effort. Each farmer is depicted with utmost respect and dignity, highlighting their integral role in shaping Bali's agricultural landscape. The artist masterfully captures not only the physical exertion but also an underlying sense of pride that emanates from these hardworking men. As we gaze at this remarkable piece, we are transported into a world where time seems suspended; where ancient traditions coexist harmoniously with modern progress. Quilici's lens allows us to witness firsthand how generations have passed down invaluable knowledge about cultivating rice on these fertile lands. This evocative print serves as a powerful reminder of humanity's intimate relationship with nature and our responsibility towards preserving it for future generations. It invites us to reflect on the profound beauty found within simple acts like sowing seeds or reaping what has been sown – acts that sustain life itself. In essence, Quilici's work encapsulates not just an exquisite visual representation but also serves as an homage to Bali's rich cultural heritage and its resilient people who continue to till these sacred grounds even today.
