EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the sprawling oil facilities that dominate the landscape of Lake Maracaibo in Lagunillas, Venezuela. Taken on May 24,2018, by talented photographer Isaac Urrutia, this image showcases the immense scale and impact of the oil industry in this region. The picture reveals a mesmerizing reflection of these industrial structures on the calm waters of Lake Maracaibo. The nodding donkeys rhythmically extract precious oil from beneath the surface, symbolizing both progress and environmental concerns. Against a vast sky filled with fluffy clouds, these facilities stand as testaments to human ingenuity and our reliance on fossil fuels. With no people present in the frame, it allows viewers to focus solely on this coastal landscape transformed by man's pursuit of energy resources. The horizon line stretches endlessly into the distance while gentle waves lap against nearby shores—a reminder that nature coexists alongside our relentless quest for economic growth. Isaac Urrutia's creative use of composition highlights not only the sheer size but also the intricate details found within each structure. This photograph serves as a visual commentary on how industries shape our environment and influence global economies
