EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo, revellers dressed as devils immerse themselves in a mesmerizing display of fireworks during the Correfocs festival in Palma de Mallorca. The image captures the essence of traditional celebrations in eastern Spain, where people don devil costumes and ignite fireworks amidst a sea of spectators. As sparks dance through the night sky, these disguised individuals embody an ancient ritual that marks the end of local festivities. The photograph showcases the vibrant energy and creativity that infuse this cultural event. Silhouetted against a backdrop of flames and smoke, these unrecognisable figures evoke both awe and intrigue. Their fiery surroundings create an otherworldly atmosphere, transporting viewers into a realm where tradition intertwines with spectacle. Amidst the chaos of exploding pyrotechnics, one can almost feel the heat on their skin while witnessing this unique celebration unfold. The composition cleverly uses copy space to draw attention to each element: from flickering sparklers held aloft by revellers to groups huddled together in anticipation. It is within this environment that we witness humanity's age-old desire to celebrate its culture and embrace collective joy. Enrique Calvo's masterful capture invites us to contemplate not only the beauty but also the significance behind such rituals. This photograph serves as a testament to our enduring fascination with fire – symbolizing both destruction and transformation – as well as our innate need for communal revelry.
