EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful print captures the stark contrast between two iconic symbols of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. In the foreground stands Rocinha, one of the largest slums in South America, while in the background looms the majestic Christ the Redeemer statue atop Corcovado Mountain. The image tells a story of resilience and hope amidst adversity. Taken by Bruno Kelly after violent clashes between drug gangs on September 26,2017, this photograph serves as a reminder of the challenges faced by marginalized communities in Rio de Janeiro. Rocinha's sprawling shantytown is home to thousands who endure poverty and social inequality daily. However, against this backdrop emerges an enduring symbol of faith and inspiration: Christ the Redeemer. With arms outstretched towards both Rocinha and beyond, it represents unity and compassion for all people regardless of their circumstances. The composition highlights not only physical proximity but also metaphorical connections between these contrasting elements. It prompts viewers to reflect on societal disparities while recognizing that even amidst chaos and hardship, there is still beauty to be found. Bruno Kelly's lens captures a moment frozen in time—a visual testament to resilience amid turmoil. This print invites us to contemplate how we can work together as a society to bridge divides and create opportunities for those living on society's margins.
