EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Jose Jordan, we are transported to the vibrant streets of Valencia during the Fallas Festival. The image showcases the grand finale of this traditional celebration, as Ninots - gigantic structures made of cardboard - are set ablaze on March 19th, 2014. The Fallas Festival is a spectacle like no other, where these elaborate creations depict current events and personalities in an artistic manner. Each individual figure or Ninot tells its own story within the larger narrative of the festival. As night falls and anticipation builds, these remarkable works of art become engulfed in flames. With an offbeat charm and an orange color cast that adds warmth to the scene, this photograph perfectly captures both the excitement and reverence surrounding this age-old tradition. It serves as a testament to Valencia's rich cultural heritage and their deep-rooted connection with St Joseph, patron saint of carpenters. Jose Jordan skillfully encapsulates not only the visual splendor but also conveys a sense of energy through his lens. This image transports us into a world where fire becomes synonymous with celebration rather than destruction – reminding us that traditions have immense power to unite communities and ignite our spirits. This AFP print is more than just a snapshot; it is an invitation for viewers to immerse themselves in one of Spain's most cherished festivals – celebrating creativity, history, and above all else, unity through fire.
