This picture is of a riot policeman who rides past a burning billboard during a national strike in Santiago on August of 2011. I love this picture because it shows a dramatic situation and the beauty that could have chaos. The fire symbolize the violence and it’s a big question if it`s necessary some kind of violence for social changes; I think that fire is an element that represent the changes of things.
In Chile the fight that started last year is for public education, but last year was a year full of social demands all over the world. I think that people its awakening of the market`s and politicians power; it’s time for make our dreams true. There´s no time to wait; the moment is right now.
The picture was taken by Victor Ruiz Caballero who was a “famous” photographer last year; he took a lot of pictures of strikes and marches.
I wait a lot of comments of this picture!
