EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by YURI CORTEZ, we are transported to a rustic field nestled at the foot of a hill in Iztapalapa, one of Mexico City's impoverished neighborhoods. The image captures the essence of childhood joy and resilience as a group of children engage in an exhilarating game of soccer. Against the backdrop of their humble surroundings, these young players showcase their unwavering passion for the beautiful game. With bare feet kicking up dust and tattered jerseys clinging to their small frames, they embody determination and hope amidst adversity. The simplicity and rawness of this scene serve as a poignant reminder that happiness can be found even in the most challenging circumstances. These children find solace on this makeshift pitch, where dreams are born and friendships forged through shared laughter and camaraderie. YURI CORTEZ's lens beautifully encapsulates not only the vibrancy but also the struggles faced by those living in marginalized communities across Mexico City. Through his artistry, he sheds light on their daily lives while honoring their spirit and resilience. This photograph is a testament to the universal language that is sport – transcending boundaries such as wealth or social status – uniting people from all walks of life under one common goal: finding joy amidst hardship.
