EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Rafael Marchante, we witness a serene moment in the historic Alfama neighborhood of Lisbon. The image portrays a nun gracefully strolling through the narrow cobblestone streets, emanating an aura of tranquility amidst the bustling cityscape. The contrast between her traditional habit and the vibrant backdrop of colorful buildings creates a striking visual composition. As she walks, her presence seems to harmonize with the rich cultural heritage that surrounds her - a testament to both faith and history coexisting. Alfama, known for its labyrinthine alleyways and ancient architecture, provides an enchanting setting for this snapshot in time. The worn-out walls adorned with decorative tiles serve as witnesses to centuries-old stories whispered among generations. This photograph not only captures a fleeting moment but also encapsulates the essence of Lisbon's soulful charm. It invites viewers to reflect on their own journeys through life's intricate paths while appreciating the beauty found within simplicity. Marchante's lens immortalizes this encounter between spirituality and urban life – an encounter that reminds us all to pause, breathe deeply, and find solace even in our most hectic surroundings.
