EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the stark reality of deforestation in one of Europe's last primeval forests. The image showcases a close-up view of logged stubs and trees, standing as silent witnesses to the destruction that has taken place. Taken on a cold winter day near Bialowieza village in Poland, the forest is covered in a pristine blanket of snow, emphasizing the contrast between nature's beauty and human intervention. The composition highlights the sheer magnitude of felled logs piled up haphazardly, creating an eerie scene against the white backdrop. Each branch and tree trunk tells its own story, revealing years or even centuries of growth abruptly halted by man's hand. The air feels heavy with loss as these once majestic giants now lie frozen and lifeless. Despite this devastation, there is still hope for change. This photograph serves as a reminder that we must take urgent action to protect our environment before it becomes too late. The absence of people within the frame emphasizes our role in this narrative; it is up to us to preserve what remains. Kacper Pempel's creative use of light and perspective invites contemplation about our relationship with nature and urges us to consider how we can better care for our planet. With ample copy space around the image, viewers are encouraged to reflect on their own responsibilities towards preserving Earth's precious ecosystems.
