EDITORS COMMENTS
In this image captured by Oswaldo Rivas, we are transported to the old Metropolitan Cathedral of Managua in Nicaragua. Standing tall against the backdrop of a clear blue sky, a stopped clock tower takes center stage, serving as a poignant reminder of the devastating 1972 earthquake that shook this city to its core. The clock tower, with its intricate dial and cross-shaped design, stands as a symbol of resilience amidst tragedy. Frozen in time at the exact moment when disaster struck, it serves as an eternal testimony to the strength and endurance of the people who call this urban city their home. As we gaze upon this historic building, devoid of any human presence, we can't help but marvel at how nature has taken over. Vines creep up its walls while birds gracefully soar above it - a testament to the harmonious coexistence between architecture and environment. Religion intertwines with everyday life here; within these sacred walls lies solace for those seeking comfort and guidance. The hands on the clock face may no longer move forward, but faith continues to guide these resilient souls towards brighter days. Oswaldo Rivas' creative use of perspective captures not only an architectural masterpiece frozen in time but also invites us to reflect on our own journey through life - reminding us that even when time stands still, hope endures.
