EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by Alaa al-Faqir, we are transported to the war-torn city of Daraa in Syria. Against the backdrop of a dark and desolate sky, a fighter from the Free Syrian Army stands tall, his silhouette blending into the indistinct surroundings. As he gazes upwards, his eyes fixated on the horizon, a full moon begins its majestic ascent. The image captures a moment of respite amidst chaos; it symbolizes hope and resilience in the face of adversity. The soldier's presence reminds us of the countless individuals who have dedicated their lives to fighting for freedom and justice in Syria. The creative use of depth of field adds an ethereal quality to this photograph. The out-of-focus surface creates an atmospheric effect that enhances our focus on both the soldier and the rising moon. With ample copy space surrounding them, we are invited to contemplate not only their immediate environment but also ponder upon broader themes such as conflict and humanity. Alaa Faqir's lens has beautifully captured this scene, reminding us that even in times of darkness, there is still beauty to be found – like a full moon rising against all odds.
