EDITORS COMMENTS
In this powerful image captured by Erik de Castro, the devastating aftermath of an intense battle in western Mosul is brought to light. The print showcases an Iraqi military armoured fighting vehicle (AFV) driving past a burning Iraqi military truck, both heavily damaged by the ruthless attacks of Islamic State militants. The scene is one of chaos and destruction, with debris scattered across the ruined buildings and billowing smoke engulfing the air. The photograph serves as a haunting reminder of the adversity faced by those involved in armed conflicts around the world. It captures not only the physical damage inflicted upon vehicles and structures but also symbolizes the resilience and determination exhibited by soldiers on the frontlines. De Castro's creative use of composition allows for ample copy space, emphasizing that no people are visible within this frame. This absence further highlights how war can strip away lives and leave behind only remnants of what once was. As viewers gaze upon this image, they are confronted with a stark reality: that even amidst ruin and devastation, hope can emerge from ashes. It stands as a testament to human strength in times of great turmoil while urging us to reflect on our collective responsibility to prevent such destructive forces from wreaking havoc again.
