EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Mariana Bazo, a woman takes a solitary walk along the rugged hillside of Nueva Esperanza, a shanty town on the outskirts of Lima, Peru. The image portrays the stark reality of life in this impoverished community while also highlighting the resilience and strength of its residents. As she navigates through the uneven terrain, surrounded by scattered rubbish and unrecognizable structures, her silhouette casts a long shadow against the sandy soil. Holding onto her bag tightly and with cables overhead serving as an unconventional backdrop, she appears determined to face whatever challenges lie ahead. The creative use of natural elements such as the serene blue sky and distant mountains adds depth to this scene. A lone street lamp stands tall amidst dilapidated buildings, symbolizing hope amidst adversity. This photograph captures both the harshness and beauty found within these marginalized communities. It serves as a reminder that real people reside here – individuals who endure difficult living conditions but continue to find solace in nature's embrace. Through Bazo's lens, we witness an atmospheric moment frozen in time - one that invites contemplation about social inequality and our collective responsibility towards creating more equitable societies.
