EDITORS COMMENTS
In this powerful image captured by Ricardo Rojas, a soldier takes a moment to pause while cleaning plastic and other debris on the shores of Montesinos beach in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. The soldier's military uniform stands out against the backdrop of the picturesque coastal landscape, emphasizing their commitment to protecting both nature and people. The photograph showcases the devastating impact of pollution on our environment, as piles of rubbish surround the soldier. This creative use of imagery highlights not only the dirty reality but also serves as a call for action against such environmental degradation. With an unrecognizable face, this anonymous soldier represents all those who tirelessly work towards restoring beauty in nature. The horizon line stretches into the distance, reminding us that there is still hope for change if we come together to combat pollution. As day turns into night and weather conditions change, this atmospheric shot captures a fleeting moment where one person's efforts make a difference. The copy space allows viewers to reflect upon their own role in preserving our planet's natural wonders. Ricardo Rojas' print reminds us that even amidst destruction and despair caused by human negligence, there is always room for help and restoration.
