EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Yuri Gripas, a flock of birds gracefully soars over the iconic White House in Washington, D. C. The image was taken on January 21,2018, during the second day of a government shutdown. With its low angle view and dramatic composition, the photograph beautifully juxtaposes nature's freedom with the weighty realm of politics. The majestic birds dominate the sky as they navigate through clouds and an overcast day. Their flight symbolizes both resilience and liberation amidst turbulent times. Against the backdrop of one of America's most historic buildings, these avian creatures seem to embody patriotism itself. The absence of people in this shot allows us to focus solely on these winged beings as they traverse above the architectural marvel that is the White House. This creative use of space emphasizes their significance against a seemingly still political landscape. Gripas' photograph not only captures a moment frozen in time but also serves as a reminder that even when human affairs are uncertain or disrupted, nature continues its course undeterred. It invites contemplation about our place within larger systems and encourages us to appreciate both our built environment and natural surroundings
