Working from the premise that mass media is reducing our real understanding of the world we live in, De Middel responds to an urgency to re-imagine tired aesthetic tropes and insert opinion in place of facts.De Middel was born in Spain and is based between Mexico and Brazil. She became a Magnum nominee in 2017 and Magnum President in 2022.

"I use symbolism in my work a lot and wanted to create an image that meant "right to peace" and what fighting for peace carries. Both the fist and the pigeon are symbols for each one of these concepts so I tried to put them together. The picture could have been shot anywhere in the city of Salvador de Bahia, which always has these beautiful clouds."
