EDITORS COMMENTS
In this powerful image, a demonstrator holds a candle as she becomes part of a collective voice against the tragic shooting of Rio de Janeiro city councilor Marielle Franco. The close-up shot captures the flame shining brightly in the night, illuminating her hand and creating an ethereal bokeh effect in the background. The unrecognizable figure symbolizes not only the countless individuals who stand united for justice but also represents any person who has ever been affected by violence. The creative use of depth of field adds to the emotional impact of this photograph. With the body part out of focus and set against a black background, all attention is drawn to the delicate flame held firmly in her hand. This simple yet profound gesture speaks volumes about human resilience and determination. As we look at this image, we are reminded that candles have long been used as symbols of remembrance and hope. In this context, they serve as both an environmental memorial for Marielle Franco's life cut short and a beacon guiding us towards a brighter future. Ricardo Moraes' skillful composition captures not just one individual but represents an entire movement demanding change. It serves as a poignant reminder that real people continue to fight for justice amidst adversity, even when their faces remain unseen.
