EDITORS COMMENTS
In this powerful image captured by Shannon Stapleton, a woman raises her hand in prayer during a solemn service at the Concord Baptist Church. The photograph was taken just one day after a tragic incident unfolded in Dallas, Texas, where five police officers were mercilessly gunned down during a protest against police shootings of black men. The worshipper's face remains unrecognizable as she stands amidst the shadows within the church's interior. Her outstretched hand is creatively framed to resemble the shape of a cross, symbolizing both her faith and deep connection with God. Through Stapleton's skilled use of depth of field, other people attending the religious ceremony are seen slightly out of focus behind her. This poignant moment encapsulates not only an individual's personal devotion but also represents a collective plea for peace and justice in troubled times. It serves as a reminder that even amidst tragedy and despair, faith can provide solace and hope for those who seek it. Stapleton's print captures the raw emotion present within this place of worship while highlighting how individuals come together to find strength through their shared beliefs. It is an image that speaks volumes about resilience, unity, and unwavering determination to overcome adversity through prayerful gestures such as raised hands.
