EDITORS COMMENTS
In this powerful and heart-wrenching print captured by Alkis Konstantinidis, we witness the resilience of two displaced Iraqi women amidst the chaos and destruction of western Mosul. As they flee from the war-torn city, these courageous individuals pause to arrange their meager belongings, a stark reminder of the adversity they face. The image portrays a scene of unimaginable devastation. The once bustling streets are now reduced to debris and ruin buildings, unrecognizable in their current state. Against this backdrop, the vibrant blue sky serves as a poignant contrast, symbolizing hope even in the darkest times. These two figures stand out in their creative use of space within this desolate landscape. Their presence evokes both sadness and determination as they navigate through weathered surroundings that mirror their own internal struggles. The copy space surrounding them allows for contemplation on the immense challenges faced by refugees fleeing armed conflict. This photograph captures not only physical destruction but also hints at an underlying mood of depression caused by loss and displacement. It serves as a haunting reminder of how armed conflicts can destroy lives and communities while leaving survivors grappling with profound emotional scars. Alkis Konstantinidis's lens has frozen a moment that demands our attention—a testament to human strength amidst unimaginable circumstances—and urges us to reflect on our collective responsibility towards those affected by such tragedies.
