EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of isolation and resilience in the face of extreme weather conditions. The image showcases a solitary house standing on the outskirts of Al Bayadh, amidst the vast expanse of the high steppe region in southwestern Algeria. Taken on January 26,2017, during a period marked by heavy rains and snowstorms that have wreaked havoc on central and eastern cities as well as mountainous areas. The photograph beautifully portrays the harsh winter landscape with its ground covered in thick layers of snow. The house stands tall against this wintry backdrop, symbolizing human perseverance against nature's forces. With no people visible in sight, it evokes a sense of solitude and vulnerability faced by those living in remote rural areas. The creative use of focus adds depth to this visual narrative, drawing attention to both the house and its surroundings while blurring out distant elements. The cold air hangs still under an overcast sky, emphasizing the chilling atmosphere prevalent during this time. Zohra Bensemra's lens skillfully captures not just a frozen moment but also highlights how weather patterns can disrupt daily life for communities residing in such regions. This powerful image serves as a reminder of our interconnectedness with nature and our ability to adapt even when faced with adversity.
