EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the haunting aftermath of an armed conflict in the rebel-held area of Deraa, Syria. Taken at night using a long exposure technique, the image showcases damaged buildings illuminated by half-light and scattered debris. The town appears eerily quiet, devoid of any signs of life as darkness engulfs the surroundings. The ruins stand as a testament to the destructive power unleashed upon this urban city during intense bombing campaigns. The creative use of long exposure adds a mesmerizing touch to the scene, with light trails cutting through the darkness like scars etched into the landscape. In this desolate setting, one can't help but ponder on the devastating impact that armed conflicts have on innocent lives and communities. It serves as a stark reminder of how quickly thriving cities can be reduced to rubble and shadows. The absence of people further emphasizes the sense of loss and abandonment felt within these ruined walls. Nature's elements seem to have taken over, with weathered exteriors adding another layer to this poignant portrayal. Alaa Faqir's powerful photograph encapsulates both despair and resilience in its depiction of destruction. It urges us not only to acknowledge such tragedies but also compels us towards action for peace and rebuilding shattered lives.
