EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a thought-provoking display of plastic straws in a coffee shop located in Ciudad Juarez, Mexico. The image, taken by the talented photographer Jose Luis Gonzalez on November 22,2018, serves as a powerful reminder of the global issue surrounding single-use plastics. In this photograph, rows upon rows of plastic straws are meticulously arranged and showcased against a backdrop that symbolizes our insatiable consumption habits. Each straw represents an individual's contribution to the mounting environmental crisis we face today. It compels us to reflect upon our choices and their consequences. The composition is strikingly simple yet evocative; it draws attention to the sheer volume of these seemingly insignificant items that have become ubiquitous in our daily lives. By placing them under scrutiny within the confines of this coffee shop setting, Gonzalez prompts viewers to question whether convenience should come at such great cost. Through his lens, Gonzalez highlights the urgent need for change and encourages us all to reconsider our reliance on single-use plastics. This poignant image serves as both a call-to-action and a visual testament to humanity's impact on the environment.
