EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial view captures the smog-covered cityscape of Jakarta, Indonesia, just days before the Asian Games. The photograph, taken by Beawiharta on July 27th, 2018, showcases a dense layer of pollution engulfing the metropolis. As buildings and skyscrapers fade into an indistinct haze, the image serves as a stark reminder of the environmental challenges faced by this bustling city. The creative use of composition draws attention to both the severity and beauty found within this scene. The smog acts as a shroud that conceals nature's vibrant colors and creates an eerie atmosphere. With no people in sight, it emphasizes how human activity has contributed to this environmental crisis. This print prompts contemplation about climate change and its impact on our cities. It raises questions about air quality standards and highlights the urgent need for sustainable practices to combat pollution effectively. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded of our responsibility to protect our environment for future generations. It serves as a call-to-action against complacency in addressing these pressing issues. In conclusion, Beawiharta's powerful photograph encapsulates Jakarta's struggle with pollution ahead of the Asian Games. Through its visual storytelling prowess, it compels us to reflect on humanity's role in shaping our planet's future amidst ever-increasing urbanization and industrialization.
