EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the serenity of an Israeli naval vessel sailing near Kibbutz Zikim, just north of the Gaza Strip. The image was taken on July 16,2014, amidst a backdrop of political unrest and military tensions in the region. As the sun sets over the horizon line, casting a golden glow across the tranquil waters, one can't help but be captivated by the beauty in nature. The composition is truly picturesque with its creative use of space and elements such as the lone boat peacefully navigating through calm blue waters. The clear sky adorned with fluffy clouds adds to the overall serene atmosphere captured by photographer Amir Cohen. However, behind this idyllic scene lies a stark reality. Just days before this photograph was taken, Israeli shelling tragically claimed four young lives on a nearby Gaza beach. This incident further escalated hostilities between Palestinian militants and Israel after failed attempts at peace negotiations. Amidst these challenging circumstances, this image serves as a reminder that even in times of conflict and uncertainty, there is still room for moments of tranquility and natural beauty. It encapsulates both hope and tragedy within its frame - an atmospheric representation of life's complexities against a breathtaking backdrop.
