EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial view captures the town of Yabucoa, Puerto Rico, as it emerges from the aftermath of Hurricane Maria. Taken by photographer Alvin Baez on January 29,2018, this print showcases the resilience and strength of a community rebuilding itself amidst adversity. From atop a hill, we witness an urban cityscape that tells a story of both destruction and hope. The buildings stand tall against the backdrop of nature's lush greenery and towering trees. With no people in sight, the image emphasizes the impact left by one of history's most devastating hurricanes. The creative use of depth-of-field adds an artistic touch to this photograph. While some elements remain sharply focused - like the town below - others fade into softness, symbolizing both clarity and uncertainty in post-disaster recovery efforts. As we gaze upon this scene captured during daylight hours, we are reminded that life goes on despite challenges faced. The absence of commercial use allows us to reflect solely on the environment and architecture before us. In this single frame frozen in time, Alvin Baez encapsulates not only a moment but also a testament to human perseverance. It serves as a reminder that even in times when everything seems out of focus or blurred by tragedy, there is always room for renewal and growth within our communities.
