EDITORS COMMENTS
This haunting print captures the devastating aftermath of urban warfare in Sur, a historical district in Diyarbakir, Turkey. The image showcases the extent of destruction caused by fierce clashes between security forces and Kurdish militants, leaving behind nothing but ruins and debris. Taken from above, the view reveals a flattened landscape where once stood majestic buildings and minarets that held deep religious significance. The creative use of lighting emphasizes the desolation as nightfall blankets the scene. Against an ominous sky filled with clouds, remnants of what was once a vibrant urban city now lay abandoned and destroyed. The ground bears witness to armed conflict's violent impact on this environment. In this powerful composition devoid of people, one can almost hear echoes of past lives shattered by crisis and violence. It serves as a stark reminder of how quickly cherished places can be reduced to rubble when caught in the crossfire. Umit Bektas' photograph encapsulates both the physical devastation inflicted upon Sur and its symbolic implications for Islam and cultural heritage. This image stands as a testament to resilience amidst destruction while urging us to reflect on the consequences of armed conflicts that ravage historical sites worldwide.
