EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Michaela Rehle, we witness a moment of everyday life at a filling station in Puchheim, Germany. The image showcases a woman engrossed in the task of refueling her car with petrol, highlighting the mundane yet essential nature of this routine activity. The composition beautifully captures the symmetry and orderliness of the filling station, with neatly arranged pumps and signage serving as a backdrop. The vibrant colors of the fuel dispenser and the woman's attire add an element of liveliness to an otherwise ordinary scene. As she stands beside her vehicle, there is an air of self-sufficiency about her - confident and independent. Her focused expression suggests that she is well-versed in this process, effortlessly maneuvering through each step. This portrayal challenges traditional gender roles by showcasing women engaging in tasks typically associated with men. Rehle's photograph not only documents a simple act but also serves as a reminder of our reliance on fossil fuels for transportation. It prompts us to reflect on our daily routines and their impact on both our lives and the environment. Through its simplicity and authenticity, this print reminds us that beauty can be found even in seemingly unremarkable moments. It invites viewers to appreciate the small details that make up our lives while contemplating larger societal issues surrounding energy consumption.
