EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Osman Orsal, a haunting scene unfolds as smoke billows from the Syrias Afrin region. The image is taken from near the Turkish town of Hassa, providing a unique perspective on the ongoing conflict between Turkey and Syria. As tensions rise along the Turkish-Syrian border in Hatay province, this photograph serves as a powerful reminder of the devastating impact of armed conflicts on both human lives and nature. The creative use of space within the frame allows for an unobstructed view of the vast sky above, emphasizing the magnitude of this crisis. The thick plumes of smoke blend with clouds, creating an eerie atmosphere that hangs over the picturesque mountainous landscape below. With no people visible in sight, one can only imagine how these surroundings have been affected by such turmoil. This image also prompts us to reflect upon our environment and its vulnerability during times of war. Nature becomes collateral damage as smoke engulfs pristine air and disrupts weather patterns. It serves as a stark reminder that conflicts not only ravage human lives but also leave lasting scars on our planet. Osman Orsal's skillful composition captures a moment frozen in time – an unsettling testament to humanity's struggle for peace amidst chaos. This photograph stands as a poignant visual representation of the consequences brought about by armed conflict: destruction, displacement, and despair etched into every wisp rising into the heavens above Afrin.
