EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a moment frozen in time - one of the last traditional Polynesian huts standing proudly on the shores of Raiatea Island. Taken in 1956 by renowned photographer Folco Quilici, this image transports us to a world where simplicity and harmony with nature were paramount. The hut itself is a testament to the rich architectural heritage of the Polynesians, showcasing their ingenuity and resourcefulness. Constructed using local materials such as palm leaves and wood, it blends seamlessly into its surroundings, nestled amidst lush vegetation and towering palm trees. The intricate net hanging from its roof hints at its multifunctional purpose - perhaps used for fishing or gathering food from the abundant oceanic resources that surround this island paradise. Beyond its physical structure, this photograph offers glimpses into the lives of the people who once called this hut home. It serves as a window into Polynesian culture, anthropology, ethnography, folklore - an exploration of both population and nationality. The presence of these traditional huts speaks volumes about their way of life; deeply connected to nature's rhythms while relying on sustainable practices passed down through generations. As we admire this scene captured by Quilici's lens, we are reminded that change is inevitable. This image stands as a poignant reminder that traditions can fade away over time if not preserved or celebrated. Yet it also sparks curiosity about how these landscapes have evolved since then – what new structures now dot Raiatea Island's shores? How has modernity influenced these communities? In preserving moments like these through photography, we honor our shared human history while inspiring future generations to appreciate cultural diversity and protect our planet's precious ecosystems
