EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful print captures the aftermath of a fierce battle against Islamic State militants in the town of Naweran, near Mosul, Iraq. The image shows thick smoke rising from their positions, engulfing the entire area in an eerie haze. Taken by Azad Lashkari on October 23,2016, this photograph showcases the devastating impact of armed conflict and serves as a reminder of the violence that plagues certain regions. The picture offers a haunting aerial view of the scene, revealing extensive damage to buildings and debris scattered across the landscape. The ruins left behind are a testament to the destructive power unleashed during this intense confrontation. With no people visible in sight, one can only imagine the fear and danger that once permeated these streets. Lashkari's creative use of perspective highlights both nature's indifference to human conflicts and its ability to bear witness to them. The billowing smoke blends with fire and weather elements, creating an atmosphere charged with tension and destruction. This print is not just an artistic composition; it represents a harsh reality faced by many communities affected by war. It serves as a poignant reminder that even amidst chaos and ruin, hope can emerge as nations strive for peace and stability.
