EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful print captures the aftermath of a devastating blast that occurred in central Bangkok, Thailand on August 18,2015. Broken glass from the explosion is scattered near the site, serving as a haunting reminder of the tragedy that unfolded. The bomb blast targeted a popular shrine and claimed the lives of 22 people, including eight foreigners. In this image by Athit Perawongmetha for Reuters Images, we witness the destruction caused by this heinous act. The shattered glass reflects both white and red colors, symbolizing innocence lost and bloodshed. It is evident that this was not an ordinary incident; it did not match the tactics employed by separatist rebels in southern Thailand, according to statements made by the country's army chief. The photograph showcases a shop window where mannequins dressed in fashionable attire stand amidst broken fragments. Bullet holes are visible on some surfaces, emphasizing how violence has disrupted normalcy. As clean-up efforts commence in response to this horrific event, there is an eerie silence captured within this frame. Athit Perawongmetha's composition skillfully highlights both devastation and resilience through creative use of space and perspective. This print serves as a poignant reminder of how destructive forces can shatter lives but also inspires hope for rebuilding and moving forward despite such tragedies occurring worldwide.
