EDITORS COMMENTS
In this powerful and thought-provoking image captured by Neil Hall, we witness the resilience of a migrant on the second day of their evacuation from the infamous "Jungle" camp in Calais, France. The low angle view allows us to see the determination etched on their face as they carry their belongings through a puddle, symbolizing both the physical and emotional obstacles they have faced. The unrecognizable figure stands against a backdrop of reflection - not only in the water but also in society's perception of migrants. Their silhouette is juxtaposed against an expansive sky that represents hope and new beginnings. This creative use of elements highlights not only the individual struggle but also sheds light on larger issues such as immigration, escape, and power dynamics. As we contemplate this image, it prompts us to question our own role in shaping an inclusive environment for those seeking refuge. The weathered body part visible hints at the hardships endured during their journey while reminding us of our shared humanity. Neil Hall's photograph captures a moment frozen in time – one that encapsulates both despair and resilience. It serves as a reminder that behind every statistic or news headline lies real people with dreams, aspirations, and stories worth hearing.
