EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful print captures the devastating aftermath of strikes near the historic Aleppo citadel in Syria. The image, taken by photographer Omar Sanadiki on December 3,2016, shows rising smoke enveloping the cityscape as debris litters the streets below. The exterior of buildings bear witness to the destructive force of armed conflict that has plagued this urban city. The aerial view provides a unique perspective on the battle-scarred landscape, revealing a scene of ruins and destruction. Nature and architecture intertwine amidst an environment marred by violence and fear. From above, one can see how entire neighborhoods have been reduced to rubble. The photograph serves as a haunting reminder of the dangerous reality faced by those living in war-torn regions like Aleppo. It symbolizes both human resilience and vulnerability in times of conflict. Omar Sanadiki's creative use of composition highlights not only the physical damage caused but also conveys a sense of emotional turmoil experienced by residents who have lost their homes and loved ones. This image is devoid of people, emphasizing that it is not just about individuals but rather about collective suffering. In capturing this moment from above, Sanadiki offers viewers an opportunity to reflect on the consequences brought upon cities when firearms are unleashed within them. It stands as a testament to both our capacity for destruction and our urgent need for peace.
