EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Lucas Jackson, we are drawn into the gritty reality of urban wildlife. A rat's head is seen resting as it finds itself constricted in an opening at the bottom of a garbage can in Brooklyn, New York. The close-up shot allows us to witness the struggle and vulnerability of this small mammal amidst its rubbish-filled environment. The image showcases both the creative use of space and the resourcefulness of nature. With its head stuck, rusted metal serves as an unconventional trap for this rodent seeking shelter or sustenance. As we gaze upon its trapped expression, we cannot help but feel a mix of empathy and curiosity towards this resilient creature. Despite being confined within human-made confines, there is a certain air of defiance emanating from our subject's eyes as it looks directly at the camera. This rat becomes more than just another pest; it represents adaptability and survival instincts that thrive even in adverse conditions. Lucas Jackson's photograph reminds us to pause and reflect on our impact on wildlife and their habitats within our concrete jungles. It prompts us to question how we coexist with these creatures who navigate through our waste-filled landscapes daily.
