EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Jim Watson from Agence France-Presse (AFP), the sun gracefully emerges on Country Road B002, just outside Columbus, New Mexico. Taken on February 19,2017, near the US/Mexico border, the image encapsulates a serene and picturesque landscape. As dawn breaks over the horizon, gentle rays of sunlight illuminate the vast expanse of this rural road. The photograph serves as a powerful illustration of both beauty and significance. The road itself symbolizes connection and movement—a pathway that has witnessed countless journeys and stories throughout history. Yet it also carries deeper connotations related to immigration and border issues that have shaped this region for decades. With its horizontal composition, Watson's lens captures not only the physicality of the road but also invites contemplation about broader themes such as identity and belonging. It reminds us that borders are more than mere lines on a map; they represent complex intersections where cultures meet and lives intertwine. Through his masterful photography skills, Watson manages to freeze a moment in time—an ethereal blend of natural light with man-made infrastructure against an untouched backdrop. This print evokes emotions ranging from tranquility to curiosity while encouraging viewers to reflect upon their own perceptions of borders in our ever-changing world
