EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Carl De Souza, the essence of the Glastonbury music festival is beautifully encapsulated. The image showcases a pair of sunglasses abandoned in the muddy terrain near the Other stage, serving as a poignant reminder of both the unpredictable weather and passionate fans that define this iconic event. Taken on 24 June 2007 at Worthy Farm in Somerset, England, where Glastonbury annually transforms an expansive 800-acre space into a haven for performing arts enthusiasts worldwide. The previous day's rain had left its mark on the festival grounds, turning them into a sea of mud. Amidst this challenging environment lies these forgotten sunglasses - once cherished but now forsaken. The close-up shot allows us to appreciate every detail: droplets clinging to their lenses and smudges from previous wearers. These sunglasses symbolize not only protection from sunlight but also serve as a metaphorical shield against reality; they represent escapism and immersion in the magical world created by music festivals like Glastonbury. De Souza's photograph captures more than just an accessory lost amidst chaos; it immortalizes moments of joy, unity, and resilience shared by thousands who braved adverse conditions for their love of music. It serves as a testament to how even in adversity, beauty can be found – reminding us that sometimes we must endure hardships to fully appreciate life's most extraordinary experiences.
