EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Ricardo Moraes, a woman walks hand in hand with her daughter down an alley at the Caju slum. The image portrays a scene of unity and resilience amidst challenging circumstances. As they navigate through the narrow passage, their silhouettes against the backdrop of shanty town architecture create a striking contrast. The photograph was taken ahead of the inauguration of the Police Peacekeeping Unit (UPP) in this area of Rio de Janeiro. It symbolizes hope and determination as authorities strive to crack down on crime and ensure security for upcoming major events like the 2014 World Cup soccer matches and the 2016 Olympic Games. Moraes' creative use of depth of field adds an element of mystery to the image, drawing viewers into its serene atmosphere despite being set in darkness. The unrecognizable faces allow us to focus on the universal themes present - motherhood, protection, and strength. This powerful composition not only captures a moment between a mother and her child but also sheds light on real people living within urban cities facing unique challenges. Through this photograph, we are reminded that even in difficult environments, love and connection can thrive.
