“The selection committee was impressed with his unflinching coverage of conflict in Latin America as it relates to the drug war, forced displacement and urban dispossession,” Online News Association (ONA).
“Through this work I focus on the humanity and struggle of the people who are victims of inequity and tyranny, be it from corrupt authoritarians or powerful gangs. It’s my hope that those who are coerced into silence or fight to preserve their right to life afford me the chance to connect their testimonies into a narrative that will ideally lead to justice and action.
The current state of affairs in Latin America is unsustainable. Through journalism that produces new knowledge and photography that cultivates empathy, I intend to foster a better understanding of the why’s and how’s of our conflicts so that future generations won’t have to repeat the same mistakes of those that passed before them.” Tomas Auyso 2019
