EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful print captures the devastating aftermath of violence in the besieged town of Douma, Eastern Ghouta. The image showcases a scene of destruction and despair as damaged cars and buildings fill the frame. Taken by photographer Bassam Khabieh on February 25,2018, this photograph serves as a haunting reminder of the ongoing armed conflict in Damascus, Syria. The low angle view emphasizes the scale of destruction while also highlighting the resilience of those affected. The unrecognizable buildings stand as silent witnesses to the adversity faced by real people living amidst this urban chaos. The air is thick with dust and debris, creating an atmosphere that mirrors both physical and emotional turmoil. In this creative use of composition, we see a silhouette against a backdrop dominated by destroyed architecture. The sky above hints at better days obscured by violence and unrest. It's a stark reminder that even in times of peace, nature can be overshadowed by man-made ruins. Through this photograph, Bassam Khabieh invites us to contemplate not only the immediate impact but also the long-lasting consequences left behind when violence tears through city life. As we gaze upon these shattered remnants, we are compelled to reflect on our collective responsibility towards rebuilding communities torn apart by conflict.
