EDITORS COMMENTS
In this vibrant and lively print captured by Hugh Rooney, we are transported to the heart of Valencia, Spain during the famous Las Fallas festival. The image showcases a stunning papier mache figure of a lady adorned in an exquisite pink dress, holding a replica of the sun in her hands. Las Fallas is renowned for its elaborate caricatures and puppets called ninots that are paraded through the streets as part of the festivities. These figures serve as satirical representations of current events or popular culture icons. In this particular scene, we witness the creativity and craftsmanship involved in creating these larger-than-life effigies. The bright colors displayed throughout the photograph symbolize the joyous atmosphere that engulfs Valencia during Las Fallas. As dusk falls on St. Joseph's Day, these magnificent creations are set ablaze in spectacular bonfires known as "cremà" marking an end to their temporary existence. Rooney's skillful composition captures not only the intricate details of this papier mache masterpiece but also conveys a sense of awe-inspiring pageantry that defines Las Fallas. This print serves as a vivid reminder of Spain's rich cultural heritage and its penchant for celebrating life with exuberance and flair.
