EDITORS COMMENTS
This haunting print captures the devastating aftermath of the destruction caused by Islamic State militants to the Tomb of Prophet Yunus in Mosul, Iraq. Taken on January 28,2017, by photographer Azad Lashkari for Reuters Images, it showcases a scene of utter ruin and desolation. The image reveals a once majestic structure reduced to debris and ruins. The remnants of what was once an architectural marvel now stand as a stark reminder of the violence and armed conflict that has plagued this region. The foggy weather adds an eerie atmosphere to the scene, emphasizing the somber mood. In this creative use of photography, Lashkari skillfully frames the remains against a backdrop of open sky. This juxtaposition between destruction and nature's vastness highlights both human vulnerability and resilience in face of adversity. The photograph invites viewers to confront the harsh reality faced by communities affected by such acts of violence. It serves as a powerful testament to how historical sites can become casualties in times of war—symbols destroyed but not forgotten. Lashkari's work captures not only physical damage but also conveys emotional stress endured by those who witness their heritage being torn apart. Through his lens, he tells a story that demands attention and reflection on our shared responsibility towards preserving cultural treasures amidst armed conflicts worldwide.
