EDITORS COMMENTS
In this poignant image captured by Alvin Baez, we see a dog standing resolutely inside an abandoned house in Utuado, Puerto Rico. The aftermath of Hurricane Maria is evident as the door is blocked by mud and a car, leaving the dog trapped within its damaged confines. The once vibrant home now stands empty and dilapidated, with only this loyal canine as its sole inhabitant. The photograph showcases the resilience of domesticated animals amidst adversity. Despite being alone in this desolate environment, the dog gazes directly at the camera with a sense of determination and hope. Its fur bears witness to the harsh weather conditions it has endured since September 2017 when Hurricane Maria ravaged the island. Through creative use of light and shadows, Baez captures a powerful contrast between sunlight filtering through broken windows and dark corners shrouded in abandonment. This juxtaposition highlights both destruction and survival within one frame. As we contemplate this image, it serves as a reminder of not just the physical devastation caused by natural disasters but also their emotional toll on those left behind – even our four-legged companions are not spared from their impact.
