EDITORS COMMENTS
In this powerful image captured by Dinuka Liyanawatte, supporters of the former Sri Lankan President Mahinda Rajapaksa gather in Colombo to express their dissent against the government. The photograph showcases a group of individuals holding candles, their flames illuminating the darkness and creating a mesmerizing spectacle. The composition is striking as it portrays an unrecognizable silhouette against a black background. Each candle becomes a symbol of hope and unity as these passionate protesters raise them high in the air. The creative use of multiple candles adds depth and intensity to the scene, while also highlighting the diverse body parts that hold them - fingers intertwined with waxen bodies. The warm glow emitted from each flame creates an ethereal atmosphere, casting long shadows on those present. It's evident that these individuals are not just expressing their support for Rajapaksa but also making a statement about their desire for change in Sri Lanka's political landscape. Amidst this sea of candlelight, one can almost feel the heat generated by these flickering flames. As they melt away slowly, they serve as a reminder that even though individual candles may burn out, together they create an unstoppable force for transformation. This photo encapsulates both the power of collective action and the resilience of those who dare to challenge authority. It serves as a testament to people's unwavering commitment towards shaping their environment and fighting for what they believe in – ultimately revealing nature's ability to ignite change through peaceful means.
