EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful print captures the devastating aftermath of a war-torn area in Marawi City, located in the southern Philippines. Taken on October 24,2017, it showcases the extent of destruction caused by five months of intense military operations against pro-Islamic State rebels. The image reveals damaged buildings standing as haunting reminders of the violence that once engulfed this city. The photographer, Romeo Ranoco, skillfully frames the scene to emphasize both the architectural ruins and natural elements surrounding them. Against a backdrop of an ominous sky and water, shattered structures stand as symbols of resilience amidst chaos. The debris scattered across the landscape serves as a testament to the dangerous environment that was left behind. Through creative use of composition and lighting, Ranoco's photograph evokes strong emotions within viewers. It prompts us to reflect on how armed conflicts can ravage communities and leave lasting scars on their physical surroundings. The lone tree standing amidst desolation further emphasizes nature's ability to endure even in such destructive circumstances. This thought-provoking image is a reminder not only of what has been lost but also serves as a call for peace and rebuilding efforts in war-torn areas like Marawi City.
