EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we witness the delicate beauty of a silkmoth that has just emerged from its cocoon at the Campoverde cooperative in Castelfranco Veneto, Italy. The intricate details of this wild animal are showcased in stunning clarity as it rests on a vibrant blue background. Despite possessing wings, the adult moth is unable to fly, adding an element of curiosity and wonder to its existence. The image transports us to a white marquee in Italy's northern Veneto region, where clusters of silkworms feast on locally-grown mulberry leaves. This scene symbolizes the hopes for a revival of Italy's ancient silk industry, which dates back 1,000 years. It serves as a reminder of nature's resilience and mankind's ability to harness its resources. Photographer Alessandro Bianchi expertly captures the essence of this moment with his creative use of composition and lighting. The close-up shot allows us to appreciate every minute detail on the moth's body while also giving us insight into its environment. This picture evokes feelings of tranquility and admiration for the natural world around us. With no people present in the frame, we are able to fully immerse ourselves in the picturesque beauty found within nature itself. It serves as a testament to both wildlife’s inherent allure and humanity’s desire for harmony with our surroundings.
