EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Susana Vera, we see a man sitting on the street in central Madrid. The image, taken on April 3,2018, showcases an elderly gentleman braving the cold weather while wrapped in a majestic black coat. Although his face remains unrecognizable, his presence is striking against the urban city backdrop. The man sits patiently on the dirty pavement, his worn-out shoes adding to the authenticity of this candid moment. With creative use of darkness and light, Vera beautifully portrays the atmosphere of waiting that permeates through the scene. A lone umbrella rests beside him as he occupies a small space amidst a bustling public square. As autumn leaves scatter across the grey marble ground, one cannot help but feel captivated by this unusual sight. The contrast between his white hair and dark surroundings further emphasizes his vulnerability and resilience in facing life's challenges head-on. This powerful image serves as a reminder of both our shared humanity and individual struggles within society. It prompts us to reflect upon those who often go unnoticed or marginalized in our fast-paced world. Through her lens, Susana Vera invites us to pause for a moment and truly see these real people who make up our communities - their stories etched onto their faces like lines carved by time itself.
