EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the market place in Halicz Galicia, during the tumultuous times of October 1914. In this snapshot from the early 20th century, we witness a poignant scene unfolding amidst the backdrop of war and conflict. The residents of Halicz Galicia gather around a spring in search of water, an essential resource that has become scarce due to the ongoing World War One. The image showcases men and women from all walks of life united by their common struggle for survival. Clad in headscarves and worn-out attire, they patiently wait their turn at the fountain, each carrying containers to collect precious water for themselves and their families. Among them are children who have been forced to grow up too soon, bearing witness to a world torn apart by violence. In this moment frozen in time, we catch a glimpse into the resilience and strength exhibited by these individuals living on the Eastern Front. Despite being caught in the midst of conflict between nations and armies - including soldiers from the Russian Army - they come together as a community to fulfill one basic need: quenching their thirst. This photograph serves as a powerful reminder not only of our shared humanity but also highlights how even amidst chaos, people find ways to support one another through simple acts like collecting water. It is an evocative piece that transports us back in history while urging us never to forget those whose lives were forever shaped by war's relentless grip on society.
