EDITORS COMMENTS
In this haunting image captured by photographer Gleb Garanich, a doll is seen amidst the beds of a kindergarten in the abandoned city of Pripyat near the Chernobyl nuclear power plant. The photograph, taken on March 28,2016, showcases the eerie atmosphere that has enveloped this once vibrant urban city. The doll stands as a solitary figure within an environment now devoid of life and laughter. Its presence among the disheveled beds evokes both nostalgia and unease. The exterior of the building shows signs of decay with dust-covered windows and rusted metal frames, while nature slowly reclaims its territory outside. From an aerial view, one can grasp the magnitude of this nuclear accident's impact on not only human lives but also on architecture and infrastructure. The creative use of perspective allows us to witness how time has frozen in this forsaken place. This photograph serves as a reminder of the dangers associated with nuclear power stations and their potential consequences when things go awry. It elicits feelings of fear and foreboding as we contemplate what may have transpired within these walls during those fateful days. Garanich's powerful composition captures both beauty and tragedy simultaneously - reminding us that even amidst abandonment, there is still artistry to be found in unexpected places.
