EDITORS COMMENTS
In this image captured by Edgard Garrido, we witness a woman embracing the ancient traditions of her culture as she welcomes the spring equinox in Teotihuacan, Mexico. With the majestic pre-Hispanic city serving as her backdrop, she holds a pyramid figure towards the sun with reverence and anticipation. The close-up shot allows us to focus on her hand delicately cradling the symbolic object against the vibrant blue sky. Her raised hands seem to merge with the atmosphere, creating a powerful connection between herself and nature. The creative use of depth of field adds an ethereal touch to this ritualistic moment, blurring out distractions and emphasizing her devotion. This photograph not only captures a single individual but also represents an entire community's dedication to preserving their cultural heritage. It serves as a reminder that despite modern advancements, traditional ceremonies still hold immense significance for many people around the world. As we gaze upon this image, we are invited into a realm where time-honored rituals intersect with contemporary life. The vast copy space surrounding our unrecognizable protagonist encourages contemplation about our own place within nature and how we can honor ancient customs while navigating today's ever-changing environment. Edgard Garrido's skillful composition transports us beyond mere observation; it invites us to participate in this sacred celebration of rebirth and renewal.
