EDITORS COMMENTS
In this powerful image captured by Heino Kalis, a woman is seen throwing a wreath into the water during a solemn procession of the Santisimo Cristo del Salvador in Valencia, Spain. The ceremony takes place on March 30th, 2018 and serves as an opportunity for people to pray for those who have lost their lives at sea. The photograph showcases the deep-rooted beliefs and strong faith that are integral parts of Christianity. The unidentified woman's act of tossing the wreath symbolizes both remembrance and hope. As it lands on the surface of the water, its reflection creates a beautiful visual representation of resurrection and renewal. The composition is strikingly poetic with elements such as air, sky, water, and horizon line coming together harmoniously. This creative use of natural surroundings adds depth to the ritualistic scene unfolding before our eyes. This religious ceremony not only highlights cultural traditions but also emphasizes humanity's connection with nature. Against a backdrop of crashing waves and open skies, individuals gather to honor their beliefs while being mindful of their environment. As Easter approaches during Semana Santa (Holy Week), this print serves as a poignant reminder that faith can transcend boundaries - be they physical or spiritual - offering solace even in times when life seems covered by uncertainty.
