EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Jose Luis Gonzalez captures a general view of a new section of bollard wall in Santa Teresa, New Mexico. Taken from the Mexican side of the border in San Jeronimo, on the outskirts of Ciudad Juarez, Mexico, it offers a unique perspective on this iron separation barrier. The image showcases an intriguing play between nature and man-made structures. The vibrant blue sky serves as a backdrop to the imposing steel wall that stretches into the distance, creating a vanishing point effect. Despite its purpose as a confrontational barrier, there is an oddly creative use of space here. In contrast to the harshness of metal and concrete, shrubs and greenery peek through cracks in the dirt road leading up to the wall. This juxtaposition symbolizes both adversity and resilience against obstacles faced by those affected by such barriers. The composition's depth of field adds an element of mystery to this scene. Parallel lines draw our eyes towards unknown horizons while emphasizing how these walls can divide nations physically but not necessarily emotionally or spiritually. Overall, this thought-provoking photograph encapsulates themes like separation, perseverance amidst challenges, and humanity's complex relationship with boundaries. It invites viewers to reflect upon their own perceptions about immigration policies and global divisions while appreciating Gonzalez's artistic interpretation captured on that summer day in 2018.
