EDITORS COMMENTS
In this powerful photo captured by Alaa al-Faqir, smoke billows from the war-torn town of al-Harak, as seen from the peaceful Deraa countryside in Syria. The image depicts a scene of devastation and destruction caused by armed conflict, with damaged buildings and scorched grass serving as haunting reminders of the aftermath. The composition is strikingly framed against a clear blue sky, providing a stark contrast to the chaos below. The creative use of stone architecture adds an element of historical significance to the narrative, emphasizing how even ancient structures have not been spared from the ravages of war. With no people present in the frame, this photograph allows viewers to focus solely on the atmospheric impact created by smoke and fire. The weather conditions further enhance this effect as dark clouds loom overhead, intensifying feelings of despair and hopelessness. Alaa Faqir's poignant image serves as a visual testament to both human resilience and tragedy. It reminds us that conflicts have far-reaching consequences beyond what meets the eye – leaving behind scars that are not easily healed.
