EDITORS COMMENTS
In this powerful image captured by Susana Vera, the Admiralty district in Hong Kong becomes a battleground for anti-government protesters. The photograph portrays an umbrella lying abandoned on the road, symbolizing both protection and vulnerability. As tear gas fills the air and smoke engulfs the scene, fear and tension permeate every corner of this urban city. The composition is shrouded in fog, adding to the atmosphere of uncertainty and chaos that has gripped Hong Kong during these demonstrations. The creative use of lighting highlights the destruction caused by clashes between protesters and authorities, emphasizing the intensity of their uprising. What strikes viewers most about this photo is its absence of people - a stark reminder that behind every protest lies countless untold stories. It serves as a haunting representation of how violence can leave even bustling streets desolate. Susana Vera's lens captures not only a moment frozen in time but also echoes the collective struggle for freedom and democracy in Hong Kong. This image encapsulates both hope and despair; it speaks volumes about resilience amidst adversity.
