EDITORS COMMENTS
In this powerful image captured by Alessandro Bianchi, a child stands alone on a balcony after being forcibly removed from the building they had been living in. The photograph was taken in central Rome, Italy on August 20,2017. The low angle view emphasizes the vulnerability of the child as they are silhouetted against the sky. Their unrecognizable figure adds to the anonymity and universality of their struggle. With fingers crossed and a dirty hand gripping onto the balcony's surface, we can sense their desperation and hope for a better future. This picture creatively uses body parts to convey emotions and tell a story. The rough texture of the balcony contrasts with the softness of the child's silhouette, symbolizing their innocence amidst harsh circumstances. The open air surrounding them serves as a reminder of freedom that has been stripped away. Although we cannot see their face or discern any specific details about this migrant child's journey, this image speaks volumes about displacement and resilience. It captures one moment in time that represents countless stories untold. Alessandro Bianchi's photograph is not only visually striking but also prompts us to reflect on our collective responsibility towards those who have been uprooted from their homes due to various reasons beyond their control.
