EDITORS COMMENTS
In this powerful image captured by Goran Tomasevic, we see a young boy walking alone in the vast desert near the village of Karama, east of Raqqa, Syria. Displaced from the fighting in the Islamic State stronghold of Raqqa, he carries a loaf of bread as his only companion. The boy's face remains unrecognizable, emphasizing not only his anonymity but also symbolizing countless other children affected by armed conflict. The open space surrounding him reflects both the harsh reality and creative resilience that often arise amidst such desolate landscapes. With no military suppliers or armed conflicts in sight, this photograph reminds us that even in times of turmoil, nature continues to exist peacefully. As we observe this child from behind - his small figure against the backdrop of endless sand dunes - it becomes evident how much help is needed for those displaced by war. His solitary journey serves as a poignant reminder that there are many more like him who require assistance and support. Goran Tomasevic's lens captures not just one individual but represents an entire generation impacted by violence and displacement. This print compels us to reflect on our responsibility towards these innocent victims and urges us to take action to ensure their well-being and future prospects are safeguarded.
