EDITORS COMMENTS
In this powerful image captured by Sertac Kayar, a man stands in front of the devastating aftermath of a truck bomb attack on a police station in Cinar, Diyarbakir, Turkey. The destruction is evident as the once sturdy building now lies in ruins, reduced to ash and debris. The exterior is unrecognizable, with branches scattered around and the sky above filled with an eerie air of violence. The man's presence adds depth to the photograph as he gazes upon the scene before him. His silhouette against the burnt backdrop highlights both his vulnerability and resilience amidst such dangerous circumstances. With his body partially out of focus, it emphasizes that he is just one individual among many affected by this act of terror. The image captures not only physical destruction but also represents the emotional toll that armed conflict takes on urban cities like Diyarbakir. It serves as a reminder of the ongoing struggle between Kurdish militants and security forces in this region since July 2015. Through creative use of composition and lighting, Sertac Kayar brings attention to the devastating consequences brought about by acts of violence. This photograph encapsulates both despair and hope as it invites viewers to contemplate how communities rebuild after such devastation while acknowledging their strength in facing adversity head-on.
