EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, pigeons gracefully soar past a motionless clock tower that serves as a poignant reminder of the devastating 1972 earthquake in Managua, Nicaragua. The old Metropolitan Cathedral stands tall and resilient amidst the urban cityscape, its architectural beauty contrasting with the surrounding buildings. The stopped clock hands forever mark the exact time when tragedy struck, freezing it in history. The image captures a low angle view, emphasizing the towering presence of both the cathedral and its symbolic clock tower. Against a backdrop of clear blue skies, these graceful birds navigate their way through the air around this historic building. Their flight adds an element of movement and life to an otherwise still scene. The cross-shaped dial on top of the clock tower is creatively used as a focal point within this composition. It represents not only religious significance but also resilience and hope for rebuilding after such devastation. This print evokes contemplation about time's passage and how it intersects with our lives. It reminds us that even in moments frozen by tragedy or loss, nature continues to thrive and find its place within our environment. Oswaldo Rivas skillfully captures this powerful image without any human presence—allowing viewers to immerse themselves fully into contemplating both historical events and timeless themes such as faith, architecture, and nature's endurance against adversity.
