EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we witness a private security guard taking extraordinary measures to avoid being captured by the camera. Positioned at a new section of bollard wall in Santa Teresa, New Mexico, the guard's determination is evident as he blocks the lens with his gloved hand. The image is taken from the Mexican side of the border in San Jeronimo, offering a unique perspective on this contentious divide. The low angle view emphasizes the imposing fence stretching into the distance, serving as a stark symbol of separation. With their identity concealed and unrecognizable, this lone figure represents an anonymous guardian protecting what lies beyond. Against a backdrop of clear blue skies and parallel lines etched into nature's canvas, there is a creative use of patterns that adds depth to this composition. This photograph captures not only an individual but also speaks to broader themes such as security and division. It serves as a reminder of how borders can shape lives and communities while highlighting those who work tirelessly to maintain safety within these boundaries. Jose Luis Gonzalez's powerful imagery invites us to contemplate both physical barriers and intangible divisions that exist in our world today. Through his lens, we are compelled to reflect on our own perceptions of security and question how it impacts individuals on either side of these walls.
