EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by Jim Watson from Agence France-Presse (AFP), the National Capitol of the United States is presented in a thought-provoking and unconventional manner. Taken on January 30,2017, in Washington, DC, the image showcases an intriguing reflection of the iconic building upside down within a puddle of water. The photograph serves as a powerful metaphor for the state of US politics during that time period. The inverted reflection symbolizes a world turned topsy-turvy, where traditional norms and values seem to have been upended. It invites viewers to ponder upon the political climate and challenges faced by American society at that moment. Watson's skillful composition draws attention not only to the striking architecture but also to its distorted counterpart below. The juxtaposition between order and chaos prompts contemplation about how our perception can be altered when observing familiar structures through different lenses. By capturing this unique perspective, Watson encourages us to question our preconceived notions about power structures and their impact on society. This photograph reminds us that even institutions as significant as the National Capitol can be subject to change and upheaval. Overall, Jim Watson's evocative image offers viewers an opportunity for introspection while simultaneously showcasing his talent for capturing poignant moments in US politics through his lens.
