EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Society Islands. The 'golette' services among the Society Islands and the Leeward Islands" by Quilici, Folco, takes us on a nostalgic journey to French Polynesia in 1955. The image transports us to a time when simplicity reigned supreme, capturing the essence of life in these idyllic islands. In this snapshot of paradise, we witness a golette gracefully sailing through crystal-clear turquoise waters against a backdrop of lush greenery. The golette, with its elegant silhouette and billowing sails, symbolizes the spirit of exploration and adventure that has long been associated with these remote islands. It serves as a reminder of how essential boats were for transportation between the Society Islands and Leeward Islands during this era. Quilici's masterful composition allows us to appreciate every detail within the frame – from the intricate rigging on board to the gentle ripples created by its passage through tranquil waters. The play between light and shadow adds depth to this timeless scene, evoking a sense of tranquility that is characteristic of French Polynesia. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported back in time; we can almost feel the warm breeze caressing our skin while listening to distant waves lapping against pristine shores. It invites us to imagine ourselves aboard that very vessel – embarking on an unforgettable voyage across these enchanting islands. Quilici's work not only captures an exquisite moment frozen in time but also offers us an opportunity for reflection on how much society has evolved since then. This remarkable piece reminds us of our deep connection with nature and ignites our wanderlust for exploring uncharted territories beyond our everyday lives.
