EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo captured by Stefano Rellandini, we witness a unique moment in time where tradition and modernity collide. Against the backdrop of St. Marks Square, one of Venice's most iconic landmarks, individuals are seen taking a selfie amidst the chaos caused by seasonal high water and the commencement of carnival festivities. The image encapsulates the essence of our digital age, where capturing personal moments has become an integral part of our lives. It is as if these brave souls have embraced both the beauty and challenges that nature presents to them, using technology to document their experience for posterity. Venice itself adds another layer of intrigue to this scene. Known for its intricate canals and stunning architecture, it is no stranger to flooding during certain times of the year. However, instead of being deterred or discouraged by such conditions, these individuals choose to celebrate life's fleeting moments with joyous abandon. This photograph serves as a reminder that even in times when nature seems relentless and unforgiving, humanity finds ways to adapt and thrive. It showcases how people can come together in solidarity despite adversity – not only embracing their surroundings but also finding solace in shared experiences. Rellandini's lens captures more than just a flooded square; it immortalizes resilience, camaraderie, and our innate desire for connection through self-expression.
