I had no words to say, so I wrote a lame poem in a language that isn't mine (I hope it means what I think it means):
Ellos encierran esperanza,
No el corazón ni el cielo.
La libertad del alma
Es una paloma eterno.

Did you write that and translated it to Spanish?! Can I upvote you twice?! ❤❤

Well, I wrote it as I translated it - the rhythm is different in English, and since I can't think in Spanish I had to try a few things. But thank you, uno es suficiante. ;)

Se me hizo un nudo en la garganta. Siempre supe que valdría la pena cada foto que tomaste. Muchas personas hasta fueron liberadas después de haber estado presas, gracias a tus fotografías, a tu entrega y solidaridad. Nuestro país ha vivido la crisis más brutal de toda nuestra historia que marcó por siempre nuestros corazones. Separando familias enteras, ver de frente el hambre y la miseria en un país tan lleno de recursos. Presenciar a esos jóvenes, adultos y ancianos luchar por una vida justa y con la libertad que todos merecemos. Yo sigo teniendo fe de que mi país saldrá de esto. Me aferro a ello, mi amor es de Venezuela, aquí vivo y aquí quiero morir. Un abrazo.

Hermosas y poderosas fotografías, con solo verlas corre por mi piel un escalofrío de recuerdos de aquellos día, donde cada mañana estaba sumida de desesperación y agobio por sentir como nos arrebataban el futuro (Aunque todavía lo hacen). Excelente post, para reflexionar y aprender.

Yeah, to me it's the blood on the flag. Really moved me when I saw it.

I saw the stains on the flag but I didn't know it was blood...this is so sad... and at the same time adds value to the story

It's blood, and it is also upside down as a distress signal.

These are great portraits. Hermosas fotos, Gaby!
I don't even know where to begin to express my feeling about what's going on in Venezuela, a beautiful country tainted by greed and violence. It's heartbreaking. I truly hope one day things will change and the people will take back their land.

Gracias por conmemorar estas protestas, sólo agregaría que las protestas NO trajeron +130 muertes... los asesinos son los responsables de las muertes, todos tenemos derecho a protestar, sobretodo cuando hay motivos sólidos y de sobra para hacerlo como un "desgobierno" multimillonario, corrupto, torturador, asesino o cómplice, este desgraciado intento de dictadura / tiranía / autoritarismo que se atreve a negar la hambruna y la crisis humanitaria en Venezuela....

Every one of these portraits is incredibly powerful, Gaby. Thank you so much for having each of the qualities you've highlighted above yourself - I am quite sure it took every single one of them and more besides to capture and share these images with us <3

Sorprendentes imágenes, impecablemente tomadas, retratan dramática lo que parece mentira que haya sido hace un un año, período infame y necesario en la historia contemporánea de nuestro país, todas esas vidas no se perdieron en vano.
