EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful print captures the haunting reality of the Amputation village near Basra, Iraq. In the foreground, an anti-tank mine is ominously positioned near the village of Bitr, aptly named after its Arabic translation meaning "amputation". The image was taken on March 4,2018 by photographer Essam Al-Sudani. The photograph showcases a damaged and close-up view of the exterior surroundings. The shadow cast by the mine adds to the overall sense of danger and uncertainty that permeates this war-torn region. With sand-soiled terrain as a backdrop, it serves as a stark reminder of armed conflict and its devastating consequences. Al-Sudani's creative use of composition highlights every detailed aspect within this scene. From scattered stones to copy space devoid of any human presence, he effectively conveys both destruction and desolation. This image encapsulates not only military conflict but also signifies how mines explosively disrupt lives in an instant. As viewers engage with this photograph, they are confronted with the harsh realities faced by communities affected by armed conflicts worldwide. It serves as a poignant reminder that even amidst devastation, resilience can emerge from these shattered landscapes
