EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Noel Celis from Agence France-Presse (AFP), we are transported to the vibrant streets of Manila during the annual Caracol Festival. The image showcases a young student, adorned in a colorful fish costume, eagerly devouring bread while awaiting her turn to dance. The Caracol Festival is not just a celebration of culture and tradition; it serves as a powerful platform for raising awareness about environmental conservation and preserving Manila's rich heritage. Participants don various costumes representing wildlife and endangered species, symbolizing the urgent need to protect these precious resources. As we gaze at this snapshot frozen in time, we cannot help but be moved by the profound message it conveys. The juxtaposition of innocence and activism embodied by the young girl encapsulates our collective responsibility towards safeguarding our environment for future generations. Noel Celis skillfully captures both the exuberance of the festival and its underlying purpose through his lens. His composition beautifully frames this moment, allowing us to witness firsthand how art can merge with advocacy. This photograph serves as an enduring reminder that each one of us has a role to play in preserving our planet's natural wonders and cultural treasures. It inspires us to reflect on our own actions and consider what steps we can take towards creating a sustainable future for all.
