EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, members of the "Colla Vella dels Xiquets de Valls" human tower team showcase their incredible strength and unity as they form a towering "castell" (human tower) during the XXVI human towers competition in Tarragona, Spain. The event took place on October 2,2016, attracting teams from all over Catalonia who came together to build and dismantle these awe-inspiring structures. The tradition of building human towers has deep roots within Catalan culture and is often seen at festive celebrations. These towers symbolize teamwork, trust, and determination as each participant plays a crucial role in creating a stable structure that reaches impressive heights. As spectators hold their breath in anticipation, the tension rises with every ascending level. This offbeat illustration captures the essence of this unique contest where physical prowess meets artistic expression. The photograph showcases not only the remarkable physical abilities of these individuals but also highlights the rich cultural heritage that binds communities together. Photographer LLUIS GENE's lens freezes this moment in time when gravity seems defied by sheer willpower. It reminds us that through collaboration and shared goals, humans can achieve extraordinary feats beyond what seems possible individually. This image serves as an inspiring testament to both tradition and resilience found within Catalonia's vibrant society.
