EDITORS COMMENTS
In this powerful print captured by Adnan Abidi, a boat is seen parked in the polluted waters of the river Yamuna just ahead of World Water Day. The image serves as a stark reminder of the environmental challenges faced by New Delhi, India. The photograph showcases the contrast between the serene sky and reflection on one side, and the murky and contaminated water on the other. The pollution is evident through its discolored appearance, with debris floating around and an electricity pylon standing tall in defiance against nature's beauty. The boat itself stands as a symbol of hope amidst adversity. It represents those who navigate these troubled waters daily, striving to make a difference for our environment. With no people present in the frame, it highlights that this issue affects everyone - from locals to visitors alike. As we approach World Water Day, this image prompts us to reflect upon our responsibility towards preserving our natural resources. It urges us to take action against pollution and work towards cleaner rivers not only in New Delhi but across the globe. Adnan Abidi's creative use of composition emphasizes both architectural elements such as buildings along with nature's white color palette due to snowfall or pollutants present in water bodies during winter seasons. This photograph encapsulates both beauty and destruction within a single frame – serving as a call for change before it’s too late.
