EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful print captures a chilling scene at a children's playground outside a police station in Shatin, Hong Kong. The image showcases tear gas lingering in the air, serving as a haunting reminder of the intense clashes between protesters and police officers that took place on August 11,2019. Photographer James Pomfret skillfully frames the composition to highlight the juxtaposition between innocence and conflict. The photograph showcases an urban cityscape with a climbing frame standing tall amidst the chaos. This creative use of space draws attention to the playground itself, which should be filled with laughter and joy but instead is engulfed in tear gas smoke. The absence of people emphasizes how this once vibrant area has been transformed into a battleground. Amidst all this turmoil, nature stands resilient as trees sway gently in the background. The weather adds another layer of intensity to the image - it was taken during daylight hours when visibility is high, making it even more striking. James Pomfret's print serves as a poignant symbol of resistance and struggle for justice. It encapsulates both the physical fight taking place on these streets and also represents larger societal tensions within Hong Kong at that time.
