EDITORS COMMENTS
This poignant print captures the devastating aftermath of armed conflict in Mosul, Iraq. The image showcases a scene of destruction as destroyed buildings stand tall amidst the ruins of the old city. Taken on February 24,2018, it serves as a powerful reminder of the toll that war takes on communities and their architectural heritage. The damaged road and scattered debris tell a story of chaos and loss, while the blue sky above symbolizes hope for rebuilding and recovery. Through creative use of composition, Alaa al-Marjani skillfully frames this scene to emphasize both the scale of destruction and the resilience embodied by these shattered structures. The broken windows and weathered walls serve as haunting reminders of lives forever altered by conflict. With no people present in this frame, attention is solely focused on the desolation left behind. This photograph prompts reflection on not only what has been lost but also what can be rebuilt. It stands as a testament to human endurance in even the most challenging circumstances. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded that despite devastation, there is always potential for renewal – an opportunity to rebuild stronger than before.
