EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by Pilar Olivares, we witness a man's determined effort to capture the iconic Christ the Redeemer statue illuminated in red for World AIDS Day. The image transports us to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil on December 1,2017, where an ethereal fog shrouds the city and adds an element of mystery to the scene. Despite the challenging weather conditions and limited visibility caused by the fog, this unrecognizable figure persists in his quest to immortalize this powerful moment. Clutching his mobile phone tightly, he skillfully maneuvers through nature's elements as he tries to find that perfect angle. The silhouette of Christ stands tall against a backdrop of indistinct surroundings. His majestic glow pierces through the misty air with a vibrant red hue - a symbol of solidarity and awareness for those affected by HIV/AIDS. This photograph not only captures a fleeting moment but also serves as a reminder of our collective responsibility towards combating this global epidemic. As we gaze upon it, we are reminded that even when circumstances seem unfavorable or obscured from view, determination can still prevail. Pilar Olivares' creative use of composition and lighting allows us to appreciate both the beauty of nature and humanity's resilience in facing challenges head-on. This image is not just about capturing an architectural wonder; it encapsulates hope amidst adversity while urging us all to take action in creating a better world.
