EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Kacper Pempel, logged stubs stand as silent witnesses in one of the last primeval forests in Europe, the Bialowieza forest. The image transports us to a cold winter's day near Bialowieza village in Poland, where nature's resilience is juxtaposed against human intervention. The stark white snow covers the forest floor and tree trunks, creating a serene atmosphere that belies the environmental impact depicted. Cut branches and logs scattered across the landscape serve as reminders of mankind's intrusion into this once untouched wilderness. Pempel's creative use of composition highlights both the beauty and fragility of this unique ecosystem. The absence of people emphasizes nature's dominance while inviting viewers to reflect on their own role in preserving such pristine environments. As we gaze upon these frozen remnants, we are reminded of our responsibility to protect and conserve our natural world. This image serves as a poignant reminder that even within supposedly protected areas like primeval forests, human activity can leave lasting scars on our environment. With its powerful visual storytelling and thought-provoking imagery, Pempel's photograph urges us to consider how our actions today will shape tomorrow’s landscapes – whether they be filled with thriving forests or mere echoes of what once was.
