EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a stark reality in the heart of Europe's last primeval forest, Bialowieza. The image showcases a chilling scene of logged trees, standing as silent witnesses to human intervention in this once untouched wilderness. Taken on February 15,2018, the photograph reveals an intimate low angle view of a pile of tree trunks, cut and stacked against each other. The wintry landscape adds another layer of desolation to the composition; snow blankets the ground and frost clings to every surface. The cold air seems frozen in time, emphasizing the harshness that these fallen giants have endured. Kacper Pempel's creative use of perspective draws attention to both the unique beauty and environmental devastation present within this frame. With no people visible, nature takes center stage - reminding us that our actions can irreversibly alter even the most ancient ecosystems. As we contemplate this powerful image, it serves as a poignant reminder of our responsibility towards preserving our natural world. It urges us to reflect on how we can better protect these precious habitats for future generations. Through its simplicity and rawness, Pempel's photograph invites us into a conversation about conservation and prompts us to consider what kind of legacy we want to leave behind for our planet.
