EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "What some throw for others is a treasure". Francisco Mendoza Ruiz (Kiko) takes us on a thought-provoking journey to the heart of Africa. The image beautifully captures the essence of scarcity and resilience, showcasing the profound value that clean water holds in impoverished communities. The focal point of the photograph is an indigenous member of the Surma tribe, his weathered face reflecting years of hardship and determination. With strength and grace, he carries a bundle of discarded plastic water bottles on his back - an unlikely treasure trove in his world. Each bottle represents hope, as it symbolizes access to clean drinking water for him and his community. Through this powerful vignette, Kiko sheds light on the harsh reality faced by many African tribes who lack basic resources like safe drinking water. It serves as a poignant reminder that what may be considered waste or insignificant to some can hold immeasurable worth for others. This documentary-style artwork transcends cultural boundaries, urging viewers to reflect upon their own privileges while fostering empathy towards those less fortunate. Kiko's skillful composition and choice of subject matter evoke emotions ranging from gratitude to urgency, compelling us to take action against global inequalities. "What some throw for others is a treasure" stands not only as an exceptional piece within 1x Gallery but also as a testament to Kiko's ability to capture humanity's shared experiences through photography.
