EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Alvin Baez captures the haunting aftermath of Hurricane Maria in Maunabo, Puerto Rico. The image portrays a row of houses engulfed in darkness, their exteriors barely visible against the indistinct shadows. Taken on January 27,2018, several months after the devastating hurricane struck the island in September 2017, this photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the long-lasting impact natural disasters can have on communities. The creative use of lighting and composition adds to the overall atmospheric effect. The distant silhouette of buildings against an expansive sky creates a sense of isolation and vulnerability. With no people present, nature takes center stage - a solitary tree stands resiliently amidst scattered debris while clouds loom overhead. Baez's skillful capture emphasizes not only the physical destruction caused by Hurricane Maria but also its profound impact on daily life and environment. The absence of light symbolizes both literal power outages experienced by residents and metaphorical challenges faced during recovery efforts. This evocative image offers viewers an opportunity to reflect upon resilience in adversity and serves as a testament to human strength amidst nature's fury. It reminds us that even in our darkest moments, hope persists as communities come together to rebuild what was lost.
