EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Washington Alves, a worshipper takes center stage as they walk through the middle of a street adorned with vibrant decorations created by residents and local artists. The scene unfolds in the historic city of Ouro Preto, Minas Gerais state, Brazil on Easter Sunday, April 1st, 2018. The low angle view and close-up shot allow us to intimately witness the devotion and faith of this unrecognizable individual immersed in their religious ceremony. Every step taken is accompanied by painted wood chips scattered along the path – a creative use of materials that adds depth to this cultural celebration. As we observe from afar, it becomes evident that this moment transcends mere decoration; it symbolizes an entire community's belief in resurrection and renewal. The out-of-focus background hints at other people participating in similar rituals nearby while emphasizing our focus on the solitary figure walking towards us. Easter holds immense significance for Christians worldwide, and here we witness its power manifested through real people engaging in traditional practices amidst an environment filled with reverence and spirituality. The image beautifully captures both the holiday spirit of Easter and Semana Santa (Holy Week), showcasing how cultures come together to celebrate shared beliefs. Through Washington Alves' lens, we are invited into a world where faith takes center stage – reminding us all of the importance of traditions, culture, and spiritual connection during times of celebration.
