EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful print captures the stark reality of life in a shanty town located in the desert of Canete, Peru. The image showcases a view of makeshift houses, constructed from whatever materials can be found, against the backdrop of endless sandy dunes. Taken on January 21,2009 by Mariana Bazo for Reuters Images, it serves as a poignant reminder of the challenges faced by impoverished people living on the fringes of Lima, Peru's capital. One striking aspect highlighted in this photograph is the scarcity of reliable water supplies. For those residing in these destitute communities, access to clean drinking water is an unattainable luxury. In fact, it is estimated that one-third of city dwellers in Peru face this dire predicament. The composition and framing emphasize both the resilience and vulnerability present within these marginalized communities. Despite their meager circumstances and lack of basic amenities such as running water or proper housing infrastructure, these individuals have managed to create homes amidst harsh conditions. Mariana Bazo's skillful capture not only sheds light on an often-overlooked issue but also compels viewers to reflect upon their own privileges and consider ways to address global inequalities. This thought-provoking image serves as a call for action towards providing essential resources and improving living conditions for those who are most vulnerable within our society.
