EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "From the dam on Lake Nasser and its islands" transports us back to Egypt in 1968. Taken by the talented photographer Folco Quilici, this image captures a mesmerizing view of Lake Nasser and its scattered islands. The photograph showcases the grandeur of Lake Nasser, which was formed as a result of the construction of the Aswan High Dam. The immense body of water stretches out before us, reflecting the serene sky above. The calmness exuded by this scene is truly awe-inspiring. As we gaze upon this historic moment frozen in time, our eyes are drawn to the numerous islands dotting the lake's surface. Each island seems like a tiny oasis amidst an endless sea, adding depth and intrigue to this already breathtaking landscape. Quilici's masterful composition allows us to appreciate both the vastness of Lake Nasser and the intricate details within it. From afar, we can see how small human presence appears against nature's overwhelming power; yet up close, we notice houses nestled among lush greenery on some islands - evidence that life thrives even in such remote locations. The absence of color enhances our focus on texture and form while evoking a sense of nostalgia for days gone by. This monochromatic aesthetic adds an air of timelessness to an already remarkable scene. "From the dam on Lake Nasser and its islands" reminds us not only of Egypt's natural wonders but also serves as a testament to mankind's ability to harness nature for progress. It invites contemplation about our relationship with these majestic landscapes while inspiring admiration for their enduring beauty throughout generations.
