EDITORS COMMENTS
In this powerful print captured by Mariana Bazo, the aftermath of a police eviction in Villa El Salvador, Peru is vividly portrayed. The image reveals a landscape marred by destruction and chaos as debris from demolished huts litters the ground. The scene is an unsettling reminder of the human struggle for shelter and survival. The photograph's composition emphasizes the desolation with its focus on the damaged exterior of what were once homes. The mess scattered around reflects both physical and emotional turmoil, while the ominous sky adds to the somber atmosphere. Despite being devoid of people, their presence can be felt through these remnants left behind. This thought-provoking image serves as a creative use of photography to shed light on important environmental issues. It highlights how our actions can lead to ruins and abandoned spaces that bear witness to lives disrupted or destroyed. Furthermore, it prompts us to reflect on societal challenges such as homelessness and inequality. Mariana Bazo's skillful capture invites viewers into a world where day-to-day struggles collide with forces beyond individual control. Through her lens, she brings attention not only to this specific event but also encourages contemplation about broader social concerns related to land rights, displacement, and sustainability.
