EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by Carlos Jasso, a rooster and a group of birds eagerly await their turn to receive a blessing from a priest on the auspicious day of Saint Anthony. The setting is Xochimilco in Mexico City, where the vibrant colors and rich cultural traditions come alive. The image beautifully captures the contrast between freedom and captivity as the birds perch on an intricately designed cage while basking in the warm sunlight. Their feathers glisten with anticipation, juxtaposing against the shadow cast by their temporary confinement. A creative use of composition highlights the cowboy hat-wearing priest who stands before them, symbolizing his role as an intermediary between man and nature. As he prepares to bestow his blessings upon these domestic animals, one can't help but marvel at how such simple gestures can hold profound meaning for both humans and creatures alike. Nature seems to embrace this momentous occasion as well; not a single person interrupts this sacred gathering. Instead, it is just these feathered beings under the watchful eye of Saint Anthony himself. This photograph serves as a reminder that even amidst our busy lives, we should take time to appreciate our connection with nature and honor those who protect its inhabitants. It encapsulates both reverence for tradition and hope for continued harmony between humans and animals in our ever-changing world.
