EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the ethereal beauty of Nueva Union shantytown on a foggy day in Villa Maria del Triunfo district, Lima, Peru. Taken by Mariana Bazo on May 25,2018, this image offers a unique perspective of an urban cityscape enveloped in mist. The dense fog obscures the architectural details and blurs the boundaries between buildings, creating an indistinct yet mesmerizing scene. The shanty town's structures cling to the steep slope with resilience and creativity, showcasing how people adapt to their environment even in challenging circumstances. With no people visible in the frame, this photograph emphasizes the solitude and quietude that often accompany such weather conditions. The absence of human activity allows us to focus solely on the atmospheric elements at play - from the thick air laden with moisture to the mysterious aura created by fog. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded of both the hardships faced by those living in settlements like Nueva Union and their ability to find beauty amidst adversity. It serves as a poignant reminder that cities are not just about grand architecture or bustling streets but also about communities striving for better lives against all odds.
