EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing sight - the stopped clock on the Merewether Tower, an architectural gem from the British Raj era in Karachi, Pakistan. The image, captured by Akhtar Soomro on January 25,2018, offers a low angle view of this historic building's exterior and its prominent dial. The tower stands tall against the urban cityscape, its spire reaching for the sky as if measuring time itself. With no people in sight, it allows us to appreciate the creative use of space and highlights how this magnificent structure seamlessly blends into city life. The halted hands of the clock symbolize a moment frozen in time while hinting at stories untold within these walls. The intricate architecture and attention to detail are evident even without human presence. As we gaze upon this remarkable timepiece framed against a backdrop of clear blue skies and fresh air, we are reminded of nature's harmonious coexistence with man-made marvels. Akhtar Soomro's photograph invites us to reflect on history and contemplate our place within it. It captures not just a physical structure but also evokes emotions tied to nostalgia and heritage. This image is a testament to both timeless beauty and fleeting moments that shape our understanding of culture and identity.
