EDITORS COMMENTS
In this thought-provoking image captured by Ricardo Moraes, a powerful juxtaposition is presented as guns hang alongside a hammock on the wall of a Tembe indigenous tribe's house. The photograph serves as a visual representation of the conflict faced by these tribes with illegal loggers encroaching upon their land in Teko-haw indigenous village near Paragominas, Para state, Brazil. The suspended firearms against the backdrop of traditional fabric material and brown interior create an unsettling contrast. The dirty and dangerous nature of these armaments stands out amidst the flowery motifs adorning the walls. This creative use of space highlights not only the physical threat posed to these communities but also symbolizes their fight for survival and preservation. With no people present in the frame, this image invites viewers to contemplate both sides of this complex issue. It raises questions about power dynamics, environmental exploitation, and cultural resilience. By capturing this moment in time, Moraes sheds light on an ongoing struggle that demands attention from society at large. Through his lens, Moraes captures more than just a snapshot; he captures an entire narrative within one frame—a story that urges us to reflect upon our responsibility towards protecting indigenous rights and safeguarding our planet's natural resources.
