EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful print captures the aftermath of a fierce battle between government troops and pro-Islamic State militant groups in Marawi city, southern Philippines. The image showcases the devastating impact of armed conflict on the cityscape, as damaged houses and buildings stand as haunting reminders of the violence that once plagued this area. The photographer, Romeo Ranoco, skillfully portrays the environment's transformation into ruins. Debris litters the streets while remnants of destroyed structures loom against a backdrop of an ominous sky. The creative use of lighting highlights both the architectural beauty that once existed here and the dangerous nature it has now become. In this desolate scene devoid of people, one can almost feel the weight of despair hanging in the air. It serves as a stark reminder that war leaves behind not only physical destruction but also emotional scars on communities. Ranoco's photograph encapsulates how nature itself seems to mourn alongside these shattered remains. It is a testament to resilience and hope amidst unimaginable devastation—a call for us to reflect upon our collective responsibility to prevent such tragedies from befalling innocent lives again.
