EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful image captures the aftermath of a three-year conflict in Benghazi, Libya. The close-up shot focuses on a window of a historic building that bears the scars of destruction. The once grand architecture now stands as a haunting reminder of the devastating impact armed conflicts can have on urban cities and their rich heritage. The detailed view showcases the creative use of this damaged window, offering an artistic perspective amidst the chaos. With no people present, it emphasizes the desolation and emptiness left behind by war. The cracked glass and crumbling walls tell a story of resilience against adversity. In this snapshot, we witness how one element – a simple window – symbolizes both loss and hope simultaneously. It serves as a metaphor for shattered lives but also signifies potential rebirth and restoration. As we contemplate this image, we are reminded not only of the destructive power humans possess but also our capacity to rebuild and preserve what is precious to us: our history, culture, and environment. This photograph invites us to reflect upon the fragility of our world while inspiring us to protect its architectural treasures from further harm. Esam Al-Fetori's lens has captured more than just broken glass; it has encapsulated an entire narrative within one frame - reminding us that even in times of darkness, beauty can still be found amidst ruins.
