EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, a mesmerizing scene unfolds as people gather on the Pyramid of the Sun in Teotihuacan to celebrate the arrival of spring equinox. Against the backdrop of a vivid blue sky, their arms are raised towards the sun, an ancient ritual to welcome this significant celestial event. The low angle view and close-up shot allow us to feel intimately connected with these individuals, even though they remain unrecognizable. The image captures a moment that is both deeply rooted in tradition and creatively portrayed through Edgard Garrido's lens. As hands reach for the heavens above, there is an undeniable sense of unity and reverence among those present. The composition cleverly utilizes copy space and depth of field techniques to emphasize not only the people but also their surroundings - highlighting both human culture and nature's grandeur. This photograph serves as a powerful reminder of how rituals connect us with our environment and heritage. It showcases Mexico's rich cultural tapestry by showcasing its pre-Hispanic roots while simultaneously celebrating its vibrant present-day traditions. Through this image, we witness an extraordinary blend of history, spirituality, and natural beauty coming together harmoniously on that fateful day in March 2018. Edgard Garrido has masterfully captured a fleeting moment where time seems suspended; where humanity reaches out towards something greater than itself – embracing change while honoring age-old customs. This print invites us all to pause for reflection on our own connection with nature and collective celebrations that transcend borders.
