EDITORS COMMENTS
In this hauntingly beautiful photograph captured by Alaa Faqir, the devastating consequences of armed conflict are laid bare. The image showcases a rebel-held area in the city of Daraa, Syria, where damaged houses stand as silent witnesses to the turmoil that has ravaged the region. Taken at night using long exposure, the scene is illuminated by a dark sky adorned with twinkling stars. The composition highlights the stark contrast between nature's serenity and man-made destruction. The ruins of these once vibrant homes now lie in disarray, their exteriors bearing witness to years of unrest and struggle. It is a chilling reminder of the fear and danger that have become an everyday reality for those living amidst armed conflict. Despite its somber subject matter, there is an undeniable creative use of darkness and color in this photograph. The deep hues create an atmosphere filled with mystery and intrigue while emphasizing the desolation surrounding these damaged structures. Alaa Faqir's powerful image serves as a poignant testament to both resilience and loss. It reminds us not only of what has been destroyed but also stirs within us a sense of urgency to seek peaceful solutions for those affected by such devastation.
