EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by Rafael Marchante, we witness the power of symbolism and the innocence of a child. The image showcases a young boy standing alone on a pavement during a march in Lisbon, Portugal, commemorating the 44th anniversary of the Carnation Revolution. Clutching a vibrant red carnation in his small hand, he becomes an unrecognizable figure with only his shadow visible from an overhead view. The creative use of composition allows for ample copy space around him, emphasizing his solitary presence amidst the crowd. The striking contrast between the child's bright red cap and the monochromatic surroundings further draws attention to him as a focal point. As we delve deeper into this photograph, it becomes apparent that this lone child represents so much more than meets the eye. His stance signifies resilience and determination while holding onto hope symbolized by the carnation – an emblematic flower associated with freedom and revolution. Through this powerful visual narrative captured by Marchante, we are reminded that even in times of celebration or remembrance, it is often individuals who stand out amongst many. This image serves as a poignant reminder that change can be sparked by one person's actions or beliefs - no matter how small they may seem at first glance.
