EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the perilous journey of refugees and migrants as they navigate the treacherous waters of the Aegean Sea. Onboard eight dinghies, these individuals are seen crossing from the Turkish coast to reach the Greek island of Lesbos on October 4,2015. The image serves as a poignant reminder of the ongoing refugee crisis that has gripped Europe. According to the UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR), this year alone, Greece is expected to receive nearly 400,000 refugee and migrant arrivals. This staggering number highlights both the magnitude of human displacement and the urgent need for international cooperation in addressing this humanitarian issue. The photograph showcases an elevated view from above, offering a unique perspective on this mass movement across borders. Against a backdrop of serene blue waters and picturesque coastal landscapes, it becomes evident how nature intertwines with human struggle. The image also emphasizes scale by capturing multiple dinghies floating amidst vast open space. The horizon line stretches into infinity while mountains loom in the distance, symbolizing hope for those seeking safety and refuge. Dimitris Michalakis's creative use of composition allows viewers to appreciate both beauty in nature and humanity's resilience in adversity. It serves as a powerful visual testament to our shared responsibility in providing assistance and support to those fleeing conflict-ridden regions around the world.
