EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, the night lights illuminate the troubled waters near Shamlapur Rohingya refugee camp in Coxs Bazaar, Bangladesh. Taken on March 21,2018, by Clodagh Kilcoyne for Reuters Images' "The Wider Image" series, the image showcases a scene of resilience and hope amidst adversity. As darkness blankets the coastal area, fishing boats stand as silhouettes against the backdrop of an enchanting sky. The flickering lights from these vessels create a mesmerizing spectacle that symbolizes both survival and determination. Despite their difficult circumstances as refugees fleeing persecution, the Rohingya people find solace and sustenance in their age-old tradition of fishing. The composition of this photograph is truly remarkable; it captures not only nature's beauty but also highlights human interaction with it. With no individuals present in the frame, attention is drawn to the multiple elements at play – weather patterns reflected in lightning strikes across darkened skies and crashing waves along an expansive beach. Clodagh Kilcoyne's creative use of lighting emphasizes how even during times of hardship and uncertainty, there are moments when humanity can still find harmony with its surroundings. This powerful visual narrative invites viewers to contemplate both environmental challenges faced by coastal communities and our shared responsibility to protect fragile ecosystems. This thought-provoking image serves as a reminder that within every storm lies an opportunity for strength and renewal – a testament to the indomitable spirit of those who persevere against all odds.
