EDITORS COMMENTS
In this powerful image captured by Carlos Jasso, an earthquake victim in Mexico City gestures during a minute of silence alongside others, marking the four-month anniversary of the devastating September 19 quake. The photograph encapsulates unity and resilience as these individuals come together to remember and honor those affected by the tragedy. The unrecognizable figures surrounding the central subject create a sense of anonymity, emphasizing that this gesture represents not just one person's pain but also symbolizes the collective suffering experienced by many. The flame from a candle held in their hand illuminates their body part while casting shadows on their face, creating a striking play between light and shadow. Shot at night with creative use of depth of field and out-of-focus elements, Jasso captures both the darkness enveloping them and the flickering candlelight representing hope amidst despair. This juxtaposition highlights how even in our darkest moments, there is always room for light to shine through. The photo serves as a poignant reminder of humanity's ability to come together in times of adversity. It showcases not only the strength and resilience exhibited by these earthquake victims but also serves as a testament to human compassion and solidarity during challenging times.
