EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, taken by Ammar Abdullah in Aleppo, Syria on December 11,2015, we are presented with a hauntingly beautiful scene. The image showcases a damaged minaret against the backdrop of a starry night sky. From a low angle view, we are drawn to the sheer magnitude of destruction that has befallen this once majestic tower. Despite its dilapidated state and the darkness surrounding it, there is an undeniable sense of serenity emanating from this photograph. The minaret stands tall as a symbol of faith and resilience amidst the urban chaos that surrounds it. It serves as a reminder that even in times of great turmoil and despair, beauty can still be found. The creative use of lighting highlights both the power of nature and the picturesque quality inherent in even the most devastated landscapes. The silhouette created by the damaged minaret against the starlit sky evokes feelings of awe and wonder. This image captures not only physical damage but also speaks to deeper themes such as escape, hope, and our connection to nature. With no people present in the frame, it allows us to reflect upon how human actions have shaped these surroundings while reminding us that nature endures despite our destructive tendencies. Overall, Ammar Abdullah's photograph offers viewers an opportunity to contemplate both the fragility and enduring strength found within our world.
