EDITORS COMMENTS
In this poignant print captured by Carlos Jasso, a Cuban migrant couple finds solace and respite inside a humble tent at a provisional shelter in Paso Canoas. The image portrays the harsh reality faced by over 1,500 Cuban immigrants who are currently stranded at Costa Rica's southern border with Panama, desperately seeking passage to the United States. The composition of the photograph draws attention to the couple's temporary dwelling amidst an unforgiving landscape. Sheltered beneath a makeshift cover and surrounded by grass and trees, their presence is almost hidden from view. Their bodies remain unrecognizable, emphasizing their anonymity as they navigate through uncertain circumstances. Despite their challenging situation, there is an undeniable sense of love and closeness between them. The way they lean against each other suggests that they draw strength from one another during these trying times. Their tightly fitting clothing serves as a reminder of the limited possessions they carry on this arduous journey. Jasso's creative use of light showcases both the beauty of nature surrounding them and the vastness of the sky above. It highlights not only their vulnerability but also their resilience in facing whatever weather conditions come their way. This powerful image serves as a reminder of the human stories behind migration crises worldwide – stories often overlooked or forgotten amid political debates and policy discussions.
