EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Zoran Milich, we witness a powerful juxtaposition of destruction and resilience. The image portrays the aftermath of an imploded building in New York City on June 9,2013. As a cloud of dust billows towards the iconic Statue of Liberty, it symbolizes both the fragility and enduring spirit of freedom. The damaged statue stands tall amidst the chaos, its majestic figure serving as a reminder that even in times of adversity, liberty prevails. Against a backdrop of clear blue skies, the cloud engulfs Lady Liberty like an ethereal veil – an unexpected encounter between man-made disaster and natural elements. Amidst this scene unfolds another intriguing element: perched atop one wing is a bird in flight. This wild animal seems to have found solace amidst the chaos, seeking refuge on America's most cherished symbol. It reminds us that nature endures alongside human endeavors. Zoran Milich's creative use of composition captures not only the physical destruction but also conveys deeper emotions associated with structural failure and demolition. With no people present in the frame, our focus is solely on these contrasting elements - nature's beauty against mankind's destructive power. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder that even when faced with challenges or setbacks, symbols such as Lady Liberty continue to inspire hope and resilience within us all.
