EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Richard Bouhet, we witness a young surfer gazing out at the Black Rocks beach in Saint-Gilles-Les-Bains, France. The image tells a story of resilience and triumph as it depicts the aftermath of a surfing ban being lifted due to numerous shark attacks that plagued the area. Local authorities on the French island of La Reunion had imposed this ban after experiencing 18 terrifying shark attacks between 2011 and 2015, seven of which were fatal. However, in February 2016, surfers were finally able to return to their beloved waves. The photograph encapsulates a moment filled with hope and cautious anticipation. The young surfer stands alone on the shore, observing others who have fearlessly taken to the water once again. It is evident that they are aware of the dangers lurking beneath those inviting waves but remain undeterred by their presence. Bouhet's composition beautifully captures both strength and vulnerability. The vastness of the ocean stretches before us while simultaneously reminding us of its unpredictable nature. This powerful visual juxtaposition serves as a reminder that sometimes we must confront our fears head-on in order to reclaim what brings us joy. This poignant image not only celebrates human resilience but also highlights our ability to adapt and overcome adversity. It is an inspiring testament to how communities can come together after tragedy strikes, refusing to let fear dictate their lives any longer.
