EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Niñas y bola de cera" by Juan Carlos Hervás Martínez, we are transported to the enchanting streets of Sevilla during Semana Santa. The image beautifully captures a moment filled with tradition, fervor, and the innocence of childhood. The photograph depicts a group of young girls dressed in traditional attire, their faces illuminated by candlelight as they hold onto intricately designed wax balls. These balls, known as "bola de cera" are an integral part of Semana Santa celebrations in Spain. They symbolize devotion and represent offerings made by believers during religious processions. As night falls upon the city, the soft glow from the candles creates an ethereal atmosphere that heightens our senses. The contrast between light and shadow adds depth to the composition, emphasizing both the delicate features of these young girls' faces and their unwavering faith. Martínez's masterful use of photography enhances the timeless quality of this scene. It transports us back to a time when traditions were passed down through generations with great reverence. This print serves as a poignant reminder of how cultural practices can shape our identities and connect us to something greater than ourselves. It invites viewers to reflect on their own childhood memories or perhaps sparks curiosity about different customs around the world.
