EDITORS COMMENTS
In this powerful image captured by Tyrone Siu, a statue of the Goddess of Democracy stands tall and resolute in Victoria Park, Hong Kong. The photograph was taken on June 4,2019, during a candlelight vigil commemorating the 30th anniversary of the tragic crackdown on the pro-democracy movement at Beijing's Tiananmen Square in 1989. The statue's reflection on the ground adds an extra layer of symbolism to this poignant scene. It serves as a reminder that despite attempts to suppress freedom and democracy, their ideals continue to resonate deeply within people's hearts. The reflection also suggests resilience and determination - no matter how hard authorities may try to erase or distort history, it remains firmly etched in our collective memory. This photo captures not only a moment frozen in time but also represents an ongoing struggle for human rights and political reform. As viewers gaze upon this image, they are invited to reflect upon the sacrifices made by those who fought for democracy three decades ago and recognize that their legacy lives on through continued activism. Tyrone Siu skillfully encapsulates both hope and remembrance within his frame. Through his lens, we witness a solemn gathering where individuals come together under flickering candlelight to honor those lost while vowing never to forget their fight for freedom.
