EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Bruno Domingos, we witness a breathtaking moment of devotion and spirituality on the iconic Copacabana beach in Rio de Janeiro. As the sun rises over the horizon, casting its golden glow upon the shimmering sea, a worshipper stands at the water's edge, preparing to offer a floral tribute to Iemanja, the revered Goddess of the sea. With reverence and faith shining in their eyes, this devotee gently tosses a vibrant bouquet into the ocean as an act of gratitude and supplication. The colorful petals dance through the air before gracefully descending onto the water's surface like whispers carried by gentle waves. This annual ritual holds deep significance for millions who gather here each New Year's Eve. It is believed that Iemanja possesses immense power over life's ebbs and flows - she is both protector and provider. By offering these flowers to her watery domain, worshippers seek blessings for prosperity, love, and safe journeys ahead. Domingos' photograph encapsulates not only this individual act of devotion but also showcases humanity's enduring connection with nature and our collective yearning for spiritual fulfillment. Against a backdrop of bustling anticipation as two million people prepare to celebrate together under starry skies later that night, this serene moment serves as a reminder of our humble place within vast cosmic forces. Through his lens, Domingos invites us to pause amidst life's chaos and appreciate these fleeting moments where faith intertwines with natural beauty – reminding us all that there is
