EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the tomb of a saintly man, revered by the local fishermen on Gesira Island in Somalia. The image, taken in 1973 by renowned photographer Folco Quilici, showcases not only the funerary structure itself but also provides a glimpse into the island's stunning landscape. The tomb stands as a testament to the deep respect and honor bestowed upon this saintly figure by the community of fishermen. It serves as a place of pilgrimage for those seeking solace or divine intervention before embarking on their treacherous journeys at sea. Gesira Island is beautifully portrayed in this photograph, with its pristine beaches meeting the vast expanse of turquoise sea. The composition highlights both the architectural significance of the tomb and its integration within nature's grandeur. Quilici's lens captures more than just an object; it delves into anthropology, ethnography, and folklore. The presence of black Africans and Negroid populations adds another layer to this visual narrative – one that speaks to diversity, culture, and identity within Somalia. It is important to note that this print should not be associated with any commercial use or company. Instead, it invites viewers to appreciate its artistic value while contemplating themes such as spirituality, tradition, and human connection with nature. In conclusion, Quilici's photograph immortalizes an extraordinary moment in time – capturing both architectural beauty and cultural significance. It transports us to Gesira Island where we can marvel at its seascape while pondering upon our shared humanity across different populations and nationalities.
