EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by Bobby Yip, the sheer power of nature is on full display as high waves relentlessly crash against the shore at Heng Fa Chuen, a residential district near the waterfront. Taken during Typhoon Mangkhut's devastating impact on Hong Kong, China on September 16th, 2018, this image captures the surreal and dangerous encounter between man-made structures and an unstoppable force of nature. The abundance of water in this landscape creates a sense of awe and wonder while reminding us of our vulnerability in the face of such natural phenomena. The open space surrounding the buildings serves as a stark reminder that even in urban environments, we are never truly disconnected from our environment. With no people present in the frame, it allows viewers to fully appreciate both the scale and intensity of these colliding elements. The creative use of copy space draws attention to every detail within this chaotic scene – from each crashing wave to every droplet suspended mid-air. This photograph serves as a powerful testament to both human resilience and Mother Nature's unwavering strength. It reminds us that despite our best efforts to control or escape our surroundings, there will always be moments when we must surrender ourselves to something greater than us – whether it be through hurricanes or any other unforeseen circumstances life throws our way.
