EDITORS COMMENTS
In this powerful image captured by Susana Vera, a man is seen touching a Spanish flag during a demonstration in Barcelona, Spain. The photograph was taken on September 30,2017, just one day before the banned October 1 independence referendum. The photo showcases the intense political climate surrounding the issue of Catalan independence at that time. The man's hand delicately touches the fabric of the national flag, symbolizing his support for a unified Spain amidst growing calls for secession. The use of creative composition and lighting adds to the impact of this image. With only silhouettes visible against a vibrant yellow sky, it highlights both individuality and unity within society. Raised hands around him suggest solidarity among demonstrators who share his viewpoint. This picture also hints at underlying tensions and potential violence as people passionately express their opinions on such an emotionally charged topic. However, there is no explicit depiction of any violent act or confrontation in this particular frame. Susana Vera's skillful capture allows viewers to reflect upon not only political demonstrations but also how individuals engage with their national identity through touch and physical connection with symbols like flags. This photograph serves as a reminder of the complex relationship between politics and personal beliefs while offering ample copy space for further interpretation or commentary on environmental factors such as weather conditions or nature's influence on human actions.
