EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful image captures the solemnity and tragedy of the migrant experience at the U. S. -Mexico border. In Nogales, Sonora, Mexico, a row of wooden crosses leans against the border fence as a memorial to those who lost their lives while attempting to cross into the United States. The photograph was taken on November 10,2016. The close-up shot reveals intricate details: weathered wood timbers bearing witness to countless stories of hope and despair. The rusted metal fence serves as a stark reminder of barriers faced by migrants seeking better lives. There are no people in sight; instead, nature takes center stage with its vastness and indifference. These simple crosses creatively use their shape to symbolize both loss and faith. Each one represents an individual life cut short during this perilous journey towards opportunity. They stand as silent witnesses to human suffering and remind us of our shared responsibility for creating a more compassionate world. In this image, David Alire Garcia captures not only the physical environment but also evokes emotions surrounding migration issues. It prompts reflection on our attitudes towards immigration policies and challenges us to consider alternative approaches that prioritize humanity over borders.
