Welcome to Motivos’ first-ever special edition! Our Images in Quarantine edition was created in partnership with Photography Without Borders and made possible through support from Independence Media. This edition pushes us to pause and appreciate the unique time in which we’re living. It beckons us to see and feel more deeply.
Get prepared to dive into the world as seen through the eyes of young photographers. Let your senses come alive as they challenge your interpretation of beauty (Yeredith, p. 6), encourage you to let your imagination fly with the little you have (Yanilda, p. 8), and grasp that growth and evolution can come from a place of pain (Rey, p. 12).
Sit and let each image speak to your consciousness. What is it asking of you?
Images often speak a beauty that can’t be captured with words, but with light. As Dayanara (p. 16) reminds us, especially in these times, “we all need to give each other a little light.” Let’s do that.
Con cariño,
Jenée Chizick Agüero, Founder, Motivos magazine
