EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Mariana Bazo, the essence of passion and resilience is beautifully depicted. The image showcases a soccer ball resting on a makeshift pitch in Nueva Union shantytown, located in the Villa Maria del Triunfo district of Lima, Peru. Despite its humble surroundings, the ball represents dreams and aspirations that transcend boundaries. The sandy soil beneath the ball tells stories of countless matches played under scorching sun or pouring rain. The air is filled with anticipation as players gather to showcase their skills and determination on this creative use of space. Dust lingers in every corner, evidence of countless tackles and swift movements. Surrounded by tracks left behind from previous games, this solitary soccer ball stands as a symbol of unity within an environment where hope prevails over adversity. With no people present in the frame, viewers are invited to imagine themselves partaking in this vibrant scene. From above, we witness how weather conditions have shaped this football pitch into what it is today - a testament to perseverance against all odds. As we gaze upon this powerful image captured by Mariana Bazo for Reuters Images, we are reminded that even amidst challenging circumstances, sports can bring joy and unite communities like nothing else can.
