EDITORS COMMENTS
I Only Know That I Know Nothing" is a captivating photograph by Fernando Alves, showcased in the esteemed 1x Gallery. The image transports us to the heart of Alfama, Lisbon's oldest and most authentic district, where the labyrinthine streets are filled with the rich tapestry of everyday life. In the center of the frame, a woman, her expression both pensive and introspective, pauses in her journey. She is framed against the rough textures of the ancient cobblestones, the intricate patterns of the tiled walls, and the vibrant hues of the hanging laundry. The woman's posture and the subtle folds of her clothing suggest a sense of quiet resignation, as if she is lost in thought, contemplating the mysteries of the world around her. The title of the photograph, "I Only Know That I Know Nothing," is a nod to the ancient Greek philosopher Socrates, who famously declared, "I know that I am intelligent, because I know that I know nothing." This profound statement resonates with the woman in the photograph, as she seems to embody the humility and wisdom that comes from recognizing the vastness of the world and the limitations of one's own knowledge. The photograph is a testament to the power of observation and the art of storytelling through the medium of photography. It invites us to pause and reflect on the complexities of human experience, and to appreciate the beauty and depth that can be found in the most ordinary moments of life.
