EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Damir Sagolj, a thick plume of smoke billows into the sky from a cafe engulfed in flames after a devastating fire in Gangneung, South Korea. The image, taken on February 8,2018, showcases the destructive power of fire against an urban city backdrop. The composition is strikingly creative as the smoke rises high above the buildings and merges with the atmosphere. With no people present in the frame, it emphasizes the aftermath of destruction and highlights nature's role amidst chaos. The indistinct architecture adds to the sense of mystery and danger surrounding this calamitous event. The photograph captures a moment where ominous weather conditions prevail; however, it also serves as a reminder that even within such devastation lies beauty. The out-of-focus elements create an ethereal quality that contrasts with reality while drawing attention to both environmental concerns and architectural vulnerability. With ample copy space available around the image, viewers are invited to reflect upon their own experiences with disasters or contemplate broader issues related to climate change and its impact on our cities. Damir Sagolj's skillful capture freezes time during this day covered in tragedy but also offers hope for rebuilding and renewal amid adversity.
