EDITORS COMMENTS
In this powerful image captured by Alvin Baez, a woman stands alone, wrapped in the national flag of Puerto Rico during a protest in San Juan. The demonstration is demanding urgent action from authorities to repair the devastated electrical grid following the destructive hurricanes Irma and Maria that struck the island in September. The unrecognizable woman's silhouette is beautifully framed against the bright blue sky, her figure casting a long shadow on the ground. With her back turned towards us, she symbolizes countless individuals who have been affected by these natural disasters. This elevated view allows us to appreciate not only the scale of the protest but also highlights how one person can make an impactful statement for change. The creative use of composition emphasizes both her solitary presence and unwavering patriotism as she clings tightly to her nation's flag. As we observe this scene during daylight hours, it serves as a reminder that even amidst adversity, people unite under their shared experiences and fight for justice. This photograph captures both resilience and determination while leaving ample copy space for viewers to reflect upon their own connection with weather-related challenges faced around the world. Alvin Baez's skillful lens has immortalized this moment of collective strength and passion within Puerto Rico's history.
