EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo captured by Carlos Garcia Rawlins, we witness the creative use of a mobile phone's light during a blackout in Caracas, Venezuela. The image showcases an unrecognizable group of people as they navigate their way up the staircase of a parking garage. The darkness envelops the entire interior, creating an eerie atmosphere that is beautifully contrasted by the soft glow emanating from their phones. The black color dominates the frame, symbolizing both physical and metaphorical darkness that has engulfed Caracas during this power outage. Despite facing such adversity, these individuals find solace and guidance through their handheld devices, which act as beacons illuminating their path. This photograph not only captures a moment frozen in time but also serves as a powerful reminder of human resilience and adaptability in challenging circumstances. It highlights how technology can transcend its usual purpose to become a source of hope and connection amidst uncertainty. Rawlins' composition skillfully plays with light and shadow to create an indistinct portrayal of people on the move. Their silhouettes blend seamlessly into the surroundings while emphasizing their determination to overcome obstacles together. Through his lens, Rawlins invites us to reflect on our own ability to find light even in our darkest moments – reminding us that unity and resourcefulness can guide us towards brighter horizons.
