EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment of resilience and determination amidst chaos. Against the backdrop of a 48-hour bus strike in Rio de Janeiro, people are seen walking on a catwalk over the bustling Brasil avenue. The image, taken by Sergio Moraes on May 13,2014, serves as a stark reminder of the challenges faced by this vibrant city just one month before it was set to host the World Cup soccer tournament. As darkness begins to settle and evening descends upon Rio, the low angle view highlights the striking silhouette of these unrecognizable individuals against an open space. The pedestrian bridge they traverse becomes a symbol of unity and adaptability in times of civil unrest. The blue sky above is adorned with clouds that add depth and character to this picturesque scene. With creative use of lighting, Moraes manages to capture both beauty in nature and human activity within an urban landscape. In this shot, we witness two figures crossing the bridge leisurely while others remain unseen but surely present. It is a testament to their resilience that they continue their journey despite disruptions in public services. This photograph not only showcases Brazil's stunning natural environment but also raises questions about public order during such challenging times. It serves as a powerful reminder that even amidst adversity, life goes on – people find ways to navigate through obstacles towards brighter horizons.
