EDITORS COMMENTS
In this powerful image captured by Martin Acosta, white scarves are seen hanging from a post during a demonstration in Buenos Aires, Argentina. These scarves hold deep symbolic meaning as they represent the human rights organization Madres de Plaza de Mayo (Mothers of the disappeared). The demonstration took place to commemorate the 42nd anniversary of the 1976 military coup. The photograph showcases a close-up view of these white scarves, emphasizing their intricate details and creative use. The cloth is beautifully arranged in a hanging position against an urban city backdrop, adding depth and atmosphere to the scene. Despite being unrecognizable individuals, their presence is felt through this replica display. The white color of these traditional scarves stands out against the architecture and multiple layers of weathered textures surrounding them. This contrast further highlights their significance as symbols of remembrance and solidarity for those who have been affected by political disappearances. Through Acosta's lens, we witness real people coming together to celebrate resilience and demand justice. This image captures both the somberness and strength that define such demonstrations. It serves as a reminder that even after four decades since the military coup, there are still battles to be fought for truth and accountability.
