EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful print captures the devastating aftermath of an armed conflict in Deraa, Syria. Through a hole in a rebel-held area, we witness the chaotic scene of debris scattered across the urban cityscape. The damaged buildings stand as haunting reminders of the destructive forces that have ravaged this once-thriving community. The image showcases the creative use of perspective, with the view framed by the remnants of a building's exterior. Against a backdrop of clear blue sky, fragments from destroyed structures are suspended mid-air, creating an eerie contrast between destruction and serenity. There are no people present in this photograph, emphasizing both the immediate danger and long-lasting impact that such conflicts inflict upon innocent lives. The ruins left behind serve as visual testaments to fear and crisis experienced by those who called this place home. As viewers contemplate this image, they cannot help but feel overwhelmed by its implications. It serves as a stark reminder that armed conflicts can destroy not only physical structures but also entire communities and their collective sense of security. Alaa Faqir's skillful composition captures both the chaos and beauty found within scenes like these – where hope struggles to survive amidst ruinous circumstances. This photograph stands among top pictures documenting human resilience amid adversity while shedding light on urgent global issues demanding our attention.
