EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Marco Bello, we are transported to a Home Depot store in Miami, Florida, on the eve of Hurricane Dorian's arrival. The image showcases partially empty shelves that once held plywood, a crucial resource for residents preparing to face the impending storm. As our eyes wander across the frame, we can sense an atmosphere charged with anticipation and urgency. The photograph serves as a powerful reminder of the resilience and preparedness exhibited by communities in times of adversity. It encapsulates the collective spirit of individuals who understand the importance of safeguarding their homes and loved ones against nature's wrath. The absence of plywood from these shelves symbolizes both unity and vulnerability; it signifies how people come together during challenging times while also highlighting their reliance on essential supplies. Bello's expert composition draws us into this scene, allowing us to empathize with those affected by Hurricane Dorian's imminent threat. Through his lens, he captures not just physical objects but also emotions - fear mingled with determination, uncertainty intertwined with hope. This photograph is a testament to human strength in the face of natural disasters—a visual representation that resonates deeply within all viewers regardless of time or place. It reminds us that even amidst chaos and destruction, there exists an unwavering spirit that propels communities forward towards recovery and rebuilding.
