EDITORS COMMENTS
In this vibrant and whimsical print captured by Hugh Rooney, we are transported to the enchanting world of the Las Fallas festival in Valencia, Spain. The image showcases a Papier Mache figure soaring through the sky in an airplane that amusingly resembles a fish. Las Fallas is a celebration deeply rooted in Spanish culture, where locals come together to honor St. Joseph and bid farewell to winter with a burst of color and creativity. The festival is renowned for its elaborate papier mache caricatures known as ninots, which satirize current events and societal issues. The photograph perfectly encapsulates the essence of Las Fallas - pageantry, satire, and pure joy. The intricate details on the Papier Mache figure's airplane highlight the craftsmanship involved in creating these effigies that will eventually be burned during the climax of the festivities. Rooney's composition beautifully captures not only the vibrancy of colors but also conveys a sense of movement as if we were witnessing this fantastical creature taking flight before our eyes. This print serves as a reminder of how festivals like Las Fallas bring communities together through artistry, laughter, and shared traditions. It invites us to immerse ourselves in this lively celebration where imagination takes flight alongside papier mache figures resembling fish airplanes against Valencia's picturesque backdrop.
