EDITORS COMMENTS
In this thought-provoking image captured by Florion Goga, a pig stands in front of a towering pile of rubbish at the landfill site of Porto Romano in Durres, Albania. The photograph, taken on July 19th, 2018, showcases the stark contrast between nature and human waste. The pig's presence amidst the abundance of garbage serves as a powerful reminder of our impact on the environment. With no people in sight, it is left to this lone animal to confront the consequences of our actions. The picturesque mountain range in the background further emphasizes the beauty that coexists with this man-made mess. Goga's creative use of composition highlights both sides: nature and destruction. The pig's side view draws attention to its curiosity or perhaps resignation towards its surroundings. Stacked up high behind it are layers upon layers of discarded items symbolizing our throwaway culture. This photograph also raises questions about sustainability and responsible waste management practices. It prompts viewers to reflect on their own contribution towards creating a cleaner future for generations to come. With copy space available around the image print, one can imagine various captions or messages that could be added - urging action against pollution or promoting environmental awareness campaigns. Overall, Goga's photo encapsulates an urgent call for change while showcasing nature's resilience even in adverse conditions.
