EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Trevor Page captures a poignant moment in China's history. In the image, we see a farmer diligently tilling the soil on his farm located along the Daning River in Chongqing's Wushan region. However, this serene scene holds a bittersweet significance. The photograph serves as a reminder of the impending change that is about to befall this rural landscape. The Three Gorges Dam project, set to be completed in 2009, will bring about significant transformations to the area. Unfortunately for this hardworking farmer and many others like him, it means their farms will soon be submerged under water. As we gaze at this snapshot frozen in time, we can't help but feel a sense of admiration for the farmer's dedication and resilience amidst an uncertain future. His commitment to nurturing the land symbolizes generations of agricultural heritage that will soon disappear beneath the rising waters. Trevor Page skillfully captures both beauty and melancholy within this single frame. Through his lens, he invites us to reflect upon not only China's rapid development but also its impact on local communities and ecosystems. This evocative photograph stands as a testament to how progress often comes at great cost – reminding us of our responsibility towards preserving cultural heritage while embracing modernity's advancements.
