EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful print captures the devastating aftermath of armed conflict in the old city of Mosul, Iraq. Taken on February 24,2018, it showcases a general view of destroyed buildings that stand as haunting reminders of the destruction and chaos that once plagued this historic city. The image portrays a desolate landscape with damaged structures and debris scattered across the cityscape. The exterior of these buildings bears witness to the fierce battles fought within their walls. Against a backdrop of cloudy skies, the creative use of architecture adds an atmospheric touch to this scene. There are no people present in this photograph, emphasizing the sheer devastation caused by war. It serves as a stark reminder of how armed conflicts can break apart communities and leave behind only ruins. The weathered exteriors and broken windows tell stories untold – tales of resilience amidst destruction. This print encapsulates both tragedy and hope; it symbolizes not just what was lost but also what can be rebuilt from ashes. Alaa Al-Marjani's lens has captured more than just physical damage; it has immortalized emotions etched into every corner of these ruined buildings. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded that even in times when darkness seems all-encompassing, there is always room for light to shine through again.
