EDITORS COMMENTS
In this poignant print captured by Roosevelt Cassio, we are confronted with the stark reality of a drought-stricken landscape in Vargem, Sao Paulo state. The image showcases a solitary horse standing amidst the desolation of the Jaquari reservoir, which has been severely affected by the ongoing water crisis. The horse's presence serves as a powerful symbol of resilience and survival in the face of adversity. Its weary gaze seems to reflect not only its own struggle for sustenance but also that of millions living in Brazil's largest city, Sao Paulo. With an alarming shortage of water supply looming over the megacity, officials estimate that there are only two months left before reserves run dry. This photograph encapsulates both the immediate environmental impact caused by climate change and human mismanagement, as well as the potential humanitarian crisis it could lead to. It reminds us of our responsibility to protect and preserve our natural resources for future generations. Roosevelt Cassio's skillful composition captures not just a moment frozen in time but also raises awareness about pressing global issues such as droughts and their devastating consequences on communities worldwide. Through his lens, he invites us to contemplate our role in mitigating these crises while urging us to take action before it is too late.
