EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the eerie beauty of the abandoned Alps Ski Resort, nestled near the demilitarized zone that separates North and South Korea. Taken on a cold winter day in Goseong, South Korea, this low angle view showcases empty buildings covered in snow against a backdrop of clear blue skies. The desolate landscape evokes a sense of solitude and isolation as nature reclaims what was once a bustling hub for winter sports enthusiasts. The image highlights the stark contrast between man-made structures and the untouched mountainous environment surrounding them. With no people in sight, it is as if time has stood still at this forgotten ski resort. The vacant ski lift stands as a silent reminder of days gone by when laughter filled these slopes. Jorge Silva's creative use of composition emphasizes both the architectural elements and natural surroundings, creating an atmosphere that is simultaneously haunting and serene. This photograph serves as a poignant commentary on how quickly places can be abandoned and left to decay. As we gaze upon this striking image, we are reminded of our impermanence in relation to nature's enduring power. It prompts us to reflect on our impact on the environment and consider how easily even grand structures can become mere relics against an ever-changing backdrop of mountains and weather patterns.
