EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Michael Runkel/robertharding captures the harsh reality of environmental degradation in Cap Haitien, Haiti. The image showcases the Totally polluted River Mapou as it flows through this Caribbean city, revealing a distressing scene of pollution and poverty. The river, once a lifeline for the community, now bears witness to the detrimental effects of water pollution. Litter and debris clutter its surface while an overwhelming sense of dirtiness hangs in the air. This visual representation serves as a stark reminder of the pressing environmental issues faced by developing countries like Haiti. In this photograph, we see four men rowing their boat along the contaminated river. Their faces are not visible but their actions speak volumes about their daily struggle against adversity. With oars held firmly in hand, they navigate through this tainted waterway with determination and resilience. The architectural backdrop adds another layer to this thought-provoking composition. It reminds us that even amidst such dire circumstances, there is still beauty to be found within these communities. The reflection on the water's surface creates an eerie yet striking effect that further emphasizes both hope and despair coexisting side by side. As viewers engage with this powerful image, they are compelled to reflect upon our collective responsibility towards preserving our planet's natural resources and supporting those who face such challenges on a daily basis.
