EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Athit Perawongmetha captures the stark reality of air pollution in Bangkok, Thailand. The Chao Phraya River, a lifeline for the city, is seen through a thick haze of smog and pollutants on February 15,2018. The image serves as a powerful reminder of the detrimental effects of climate change and global warming on urban cities. The cityscape is shrouded in indistinct outlines due to the dense air pollution, obscuring modern architecture and skyscrapers that would otherwise dominate the skyline. This creative use of photography highlights not only the beauty but also the harsh consequences of human activity on our environment. The polluted sky reflects an alarming truth about our planet's deteriorating condition. As buildings rise above this hazy scene, they stand as silent witnesses to both progress and destruction. The absence of people emphasizes how this issue affects everyone collectively. Perawongmetha's aerial view allows us to witness firsthand how pollution infiltrates every aspect of city life - from waterways like Chao Phraya River to everyday structures we take for granted. It prompts us to question our responsibility towards preserving our natural resources and finding sustainable solutions for future generations. In this thought-provoking photograph, weather conditions play a crucial role in shaping perceptions about environmental degradation. Amidst daylight hours, it becomes clear that urgent action is needed to combat air pollution before it further engulfs cities like Bangkok in its toxic grip.
