EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Vincent West, locals in the Basque town of Balmaseda, northern Spain are seen dressed as Roman soldiers, participating in a Via Crucis representation on Good Friday. The image showcases the deep-rooted traditions and strong religious faith that permeate through this ancient town. The photograph captures the essence of the ceremony with its creative use of props and costumes. The unrecognizable figures stand tall, donning authentic-looking armor clothing and capes, resembling ancient Roman soldiers from centuries ago. Their attention to detail is evident in every body part - from their arms holding swords to their legs adorned with red-colored sandals. Set against a backdrop of grass and sand soil, these individuals form a solemn group as they hold their positions along the pavement. Each person's dedication to portraying these historical characters is commendable; it reflects not only their commitment but also their respect for tradition. This powerful visual encapsulates both nature and religion intertwined harmoniously within one frame. It serves as a reminder of how communities come together to honor significant events such as Good Friday while preserving cultural heritage. Vincent West's skillful composition allows viewers to immerse themselves in this timeless moment where past meets present – an evocative snapshot that speaks volumes about devotion and spirituality.
