EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Alvin Baez captures the aftermath of Hurricane Maria in Naguabo, Puerto Rico. The image showcases a cityscape at night, where only a few houses are illuminated amidst the darkness that envelops the area. Taken on January 25,2018, several months after the devastating hurricane hit the island in September 2017, this photograph serves as a powerful reminder of the long-lasting impact natural disasters can have on communities. The reflection of these few lit houses on the calm water below adds an ethereal quality to the scene. Against a cloudy sky and with minimal light pollution, one can truly appreciate both nature's beauty and man-made architecture in this urban setting. Baez's creative use of lighting emphasizes not only the darkness but also symbolizes hope and resilience. These brave homes stand as beacons amidst adversity, representing those who refused to succumb to despair. The general view captured here allows viewers to reflect upon their own environments and consider how fragile our cities can be when faced with extreme weather conditions. This thought-provoking image reminds us of our interconnectedness with nature and highlights both its destructive power and ability to inspire unity within communities. With its striking composition and poignant message, Baez's photograph is a testament to human strength in times of crisis while urging us all to prioritize environmental awareness for future generations.
