EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by Sergei Gapon, we witness a heartwarming moment during the Last Ring ceremony in Belarus. As graduates gather to bid farewell to another academic year, a black dog casually strolls through the school of Zhodino, about 70 km from Minsk. The canine's presence adds an unexpected touch of serenity and innocence amidst the formalities. The Last Ring ceremony holds great significance not only in Belarus but also in many countries of the former Soviet Union. It symbolizes the end of an educational journey and marks a new chapter for these young individuals as they embark on their future endeavors. Amidst all the hustle and bustle, this photograph captures a brief pause where time seems to stand still. The dog's graceful stride and curious gaze create a beautiful contrast against the backdrop of eager graduates dressed in their ceremonial attire. As we observe this scene, it reminds us that even amidst important milestones like graduation ceremonies, life continues its course with simplicity and charm. This image serves as a gentle reminder that while education is crucial, moments of spontaneity can bring joy into our lives. Sergei Gapon skillfully captures this fleeting moment with his lens, allowing us to reflect on both the significance of education and appreciate life's little surprises along our journey.
