EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, an elderly woman sets up her flower stall in the Dubrovnik market, contributing to the vibrant scene of life returning to the historic town after the devastating Siege of Dubrovnik in 1991. Taken in 1994, this image is part of a series documenting the reconstruction process following the siege, which left the once-thriving tourist destination in ruins. The 90s, a decade marked by the disintegration of Yugoslavia and the ensuing conflicts, saw Dubrovnik, a UNESCO World Heritage site located in southern Croatia, suffer significant damage. The siege, led by the Yugoslav People's Army and Montenegrin militia, lasted seven months and resulted in extensive destruction to the city's historic buildings and infrastructure. Amid the rubble, the resilient spirit of the Dubrovnik people shone through, as they worked tirelessly to rebuild their community. In this photograph, the elderly flower seller, with a determined expression on her face, sets up her stall on a bustling street. The market, a symbol of the town's economic and cultural heart, comes back to life as people gather to buy and sell goods. Photographed by acclaimed British photographer Philip Dunn, this image captures the essence of hope and renewal in the face of adversity. The woman's simple act of selling flowers in the market serves as a testament to the enduring strength and resilience of the people of Dubrovnik. This poignant photograph is a reminder of the power of human spirit and the capacity for healing and rebuilding in the aftermath of conflict.
