EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by Bruno Kelly, the majestic Christ the Redeemer statue stands tall and proud against the backdrop of a luminous full moon. The image was captured in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, just days before the highly anticipated 2016 Olympic Games commenced. As if touched by divine intervention, the celestial body seems to align perfectly with one of mankind's most iconic symbols of faith and hope. The juxtaposition between the ethereal glow of the moon and the imposing figure of Christ creates a mesmerizing visual spectacle. It symbolizes a harmonious convergence between nature's wonders and human achievements. This photograph encapsulates both spiritual reverence and athletic prowess, embodying Rio's unique blend of culture, religion, and sport. As night falls over this bustling cityscape, Bruno Kelly skillfully captures a moment frozen in time - an enchanting interplay between light and shadow that evokes emotions ranging from awe to serenity. The intricate details carved into every inch of Christ's outstretched arms are illuminated under this celestial spotlight; it is as if he blesses not only those who gaze upon him but also all those who will partake in these forthcoming games. This extraordinary image serves as a reminder that even amidst grand celebrations like the Olympics, there exists an enduring connection to something greater than ourselves – be it through art or spirituality – reminding us to pause for reflection on our shared humanity.
