EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by Joe Lasky from EyeUbiquitous, we are transported to the vibrant city of Oaxaca in Mexico. As we venture into the bustling market located at the back of Oaxaca City, our senses come alive with an array of sights and smells. It is a day before Semana Santa, also known as Easter, and the atmosphere is filled with anticipation. At the heart of this lively scene stands an elderly Mexican woman, surrounded by her extensive collection of peanuts. Seeking respite from the scorching sun, she sits beneath a protective tarpaulin that casts a comforting shade over her wares. With weathered hands stained dark from years of hard work, she meticulously sifts through her nuts, separating those that have cracked open and become unsellable. Dressed in traditional Mexican attire adorned with a checkered grey and dark blue apron, this resilient lady embodies both strength and grace. Her straight white hair glistens under the sunlight while her aging face reflects wisdom gained through a lifetime's worth of experiences. The assortment of peanuts displayed before her showcases nature's diversity - ranging from light to dark brown hues; some even appear roasted within their golden shells. These delectable treats are presented in an eclectic assortment of containers: wicker baskets intermingling with wooden crates, straw sacks nestled beside plastic tubs. Joe Lasky's photograph captures not only a moment frozen in time but also serves as a poignant reminder of Mexico's rich cultural heritage and its people who continue to preserve traditions amidst changing times.
