EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Lower Juba. Pool at Fabda: only source of water in a range of 300 kilometers, during the drought period" transports us to Somalia in the year 1972. Taken by renowned photographer Quilici Folco, this image captures a scene that is both haunting and powerful. In the midst of an unforgiving drought period, where parched lands stretch as far as the eye can see, this photograph reveals a glimmering oasis amidst despair. The pool at Fabda emerges as a lifeline for countless individuals who depend on it for their survival. It stands alone in its ability to quench thirst within a vast radius of 300 kilometers. The composition itself is striking; with stark contrasts between light and shadow playing out across the frame. The reflection of sunlight on the water's surface creates an ethereal glow that seems almost otherworldly against the barren backdrop. One cannot help but be drawn into this fragile ecosystem where life teeters on the edge. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded of nature's immense power over human existence – how something as simple yet essential as water can dictate life or death. We witness resilience and determination etched onto faces surrounding the pool; each individual carrying their own story of struggle and hope. Quilici Folco's lens has captured not just a moment frozen in time but also serves as a poignant reminder about our shared responsibility towards preserving our planet's precious resources. This photograph urges us to reflect upon our actions today so that future generations may never have to face such dire circumstances again. Through his artistry, Quilici Folco invites us to delve deeper into our collective consciousness – urging us to appreciate every drop of water while recognizing its significance beyond measure.
