EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by Ricardo Moraes, the explosive power of progress is vividly captured as part of Rio de Janeiro's urbanization project. The Perimetral overpass stands tall and proud, but not for long. As the city prepares for the highly anticipated 2016 Olympic Games, a controlled demolition takes place to make way for a new chapter in Rio's development. The image showcases the aftermath of the detonation, revealing a scene that is both damaged and modern. The exterior of the overpass lies in ruins, contrasting with the bustling urban cityscape that surrounds it. Against a clear sky backdrop, smoke billows from the destruction site, creating an atmospheric effect that adds drama to this creative use of explosives. Amidst all this chaos and destruction, nature finds its place amidst concrete structures. A lone tree stands resiliently nearby as if symbolizing hope and growth amidst change. This juxtaposition highlights how progress can coexist with nature even in busy metropolitan areas. Moraes' photograph captures not only architectural transformation but also signifies a turning point in Rio's history. With no people present in the frame, viewers are left to contemplate how such drastic changes shape society and politics within this vibrant Brazilian city. Overall, this powerful image encapsulates both destruction and creation as Rio de Janeiro paves its way towards becoming a truly marvelous port on an international stage.
