12th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Culture and the Arts
Girl With Veil
I was walking down the Atocha Ave. in Madrid and I saw this particular movie poster, it was weird because we had this kind-of muslim "Pietà", and at the same time there's the reflection of a well known building, which is a typical construction made at the beginning of the XX century in Spain. To me is an image of the new world we live, there's these big cosmopolitan cities who has a lot of people from all over the world living in the same place. In this case the picture represent the middle east crashing in a very smooth way on to western civilization.
