EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Heino Kalis, a courageous firefighter takes center stage as he sprays water at figures of a monument engulfed in flames. The intense finale of the Fallas festival, held in Valencia early March 20th, 2018, is beautifully depicted through the lens of this skilled photographer. As the evening sky darkens, the fiery blaze illuminates the scene with vibrant orange hues. The silhouette of the firefighter stands tall against the backdrop of movement and chaos. With his firehose aimed precisely at the burning monument, he becomes an unrecognizable figure embodying bravery and determination. The creative use of light and shadow adds depth to this powerful image. Real people gather around to witness this dramatic spectacle while their silhouettes blend seamlessly with those cast by flickering flames. The statue-like figures on fire symbolize both destruction and rebirth as they commemorate Saint Joseph's Day and welcome spring. Heino Kalis skillfully captures not only a moment frozen in time but also conveys an atmosphere charged with energy and emotion. This photograph serves as a reminder of humanity's resilience in times of crisis while highlighting our ability to come together as a group when faced with adversity
