EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, a ski lift chair hangs in solitude at the abandoned Alps Ski Resort, nestled near the demilitarized zone that separates the two Koreas in Goseong, South Korea. Taken on February 6,2018, by talented photographer Jorge Silva for Reuters Images, this low angle view captures the eerie beauty of an empty exterior surrounded by nature's elements. The image showcases a stark contrast between man-made structures and untouched landscapes. Against a backdrop of clear blue skies and fluffy white clouds, the ski lift chair stands as a symbol of forgotten dreams and lost opportunities. With no people in sight and only branches reaching out towards it, one can't help but wonder about its past glory days. This photograph invites us to reflect on how time can transform bustling businesses into ghostly remnants. The creative use of space highlights both the grandeur of mountainous terrain and the impact humans have had on their environment. It serves as a reminder that even in deserted places like this ski resort, nature continues to thrive despite our absence. Silva's composition skillfully captures winter sports enthusiasts' longing for adventure while simultaneously evoking feelings of abandonment and desolation. As we gaze upon this frozen moment in time, we are reminded that life moves forward relentlessly – leaving behind relics that silently tell stories of what once was.
