EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful print captures the aftermath of a three-year conflict in Benghazi, Libya. The image showcases a historic building that has suffered significant damage during the armed conflict. Taken from a low angle, the close-up shot highlights the intricate details of the heritage structure's exterior. The photographer skillfully incorporates creative elements into this composition by framing the damaged building against a backdrop of clear blue sky. The contrasting colors symbolize hope and resilience amidst destruction. With no people present, the focus remains solely on the architectural beauty and its unfortunate fate. The image serves as a reminder of both human tragedy and historical significance. It prompts contemplation about how armed conflicts can devastate not only lives but also cultural heritage. The bell tower stands tall as an enduring symbol of strength, even in times of adversity. Through this photograph, Esam Al-Fetori invites viewers to reflect on urban city life and our responsibility to protect our environment and architectural treasures for future generations. It is an evocative portrayal that speaks volumes without uttering a single word - capturing history frozen in time while urging us to learn from past mistakes so we may build a better future.
