EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a unique perspective of the U. S. -Mexico border fence, showcasing a gap that symbolizes the complex relationship between these two neighboring countries. Taken outside Jacumba, California, on October 7,2016, photographer Mike Blake skillfully portrays the stark contrast between the rugged terrain and the man-made barrier. The image highlights how this particular section of the fence blends into its natural surroundings. The creative use of aerial photography allows us to appreciate both the vastness of the landscape and the intricate details of this controversial structure. With no people in sight, we are left to ponder not only its physical presence but also its impact on wildlife and nature. The photograph's composition draws attention to a hill in close proximity to where this gap exists. This juxtaposition prompts contemplation about what lies beyond: opportunities or challenges? It invites viewers to reflect on issues such as immigration policies, border security concerns, and cultural exchanges that take place along this boundary line. Furthermore, by capturing an expansive sky above it all – perhaps hinting at limitless possibilities – Blake reminds us that borders are not just lines on maps but rather dynamic spaces shaped by human interactions and environmental forces. In summary, through his lens Mike Blake offers us a thought-provoking glimpse into one aspect of life along the U. S. -Mexico border fence—a visual testament to our shared humanity amidst divisions created by politics and geography.
