EDITORS COMMENTS
In this powerful image captured by Carlos Jasso, we witness the resilience and unity of earthquake victims in Mexico City. As they gather to mark the four-month anniversary of the devastating September 19 quake, their gesture during a minute of silence speaks volumes about their strength and determination. The photograph is taken at night, with only a single flame illuminating the scene. The unrecognizable figures stand together, their bodies casting long shadows against the dark backdrop. Their hands are raised in a symbolic gesture, as if reaching out for support or offering it to others. The creative use of candlelight adds depth and atmosphere to the composition. The flickering flame creates an ethereal glow that highlights both the individuals and their surroundings. With its soft focus and out-of-focus elements, Jasso captures not just a moment frozen in time but also conveys a sense of movement and emotion. This image serves as a reminder that even amidst tragedy, there is hope. It showcases real people coming together in solidarity to overcome adversity and rebuild their lives. Their silent tribute honors those who lost their lives while inspiring others to keep moving forward. Jasso's photograph encapsulates both darkness and light – symbolizing not only the physical aftermath of an earthquake but also the indomitable spirit that shines through even in our darkest moments.
