EDITORS COMMENTS
In this powerful image captured by Alkis Konstantinidis, Rohingya refugees can be seen climbing on a bamboo scaffold as they drill a water well at the Mayner Ghona refugee camp near Coxs Bazar, Bangladesh. The photograph was taken on December 13,2017. The low angle view emphasizes the height and scale of the makeshift structure against the vast blue sky. The silhouette of these unrecognizable individuals adds an element of mystery and anonymity to their struggle for survival. Despite their difficult circumstances, there is a sense of resilience in their determined climb up the scaffolding. This creative use of body parts showcases both the physical labor involved in drilling a well and symbolizes their collective effort to secure one of life's most basic necessities - clean water. It serves as a reminder that even amidst adversity, human ingenuity finds ways to overcome challenges. The weathered bamboo scaffold stands out oddly against its surroundings, highlighting the stark contrast between temporary structures and nature's enduring beauty. This image captures not only a moment frozen in time but also represents the larger story behind millions of displaced people seeking refuge around the world. Alkis Konstantinidis' photograph encapsulates both hope and hardship within its frame, inviting viewers to reflect upon our shared humanity and consider how we can support those who have been forced to flee their homes in search of safety and dignity.
