EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by Pilar Olivares, we witness the anticipation and excitement of the first night of the Carnival parade of samba schools at Sambadrome in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The image captures a mysterious figure, his identity concealed in darkness as he arrives for this grand celebration. The man's silhouette stands out against the vibrant backdrop of lights that illuminate the night sky. His leg takes a confident step forward on the zebra crossing, symbolizing his entrance into a world filled with rhythm and joy. The creative use of lighting enhances the atmosphere, casting an enchanting glow on his body. Surrounded by other pedestrians who are also making their way to experience this cultural extravaganza, nature seems to hold its breath in awe. The circle formed by streetlights adds a sense of unity and harmony among those gathered here. As we gaze upon this photograph, we can almost feel our own hearts beating faster with anticipation. It serves as a reminder that no matter who we are or where we come from, moments like these unite us all under one common language: music and dance. Pilar Olivares skillfully captures not just an event but also an emotion - capturing both the magic and mystery that lie within such celebrations. This print is truly a testament to the power of human connection through culture and tradition.
