EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Nour Fourat captures the intense clashes between Free Syrian Army fighters and forces loyal to President Bashar al-Assad within Band 17 in Raqqa on November 20,2013. The image showcases a powerful scene where smoke rises ominously against the night sky, symbolizing the ongoing political unrest and civil conflict that has plagued Syria for years. The photographer's masterful use of depth of field allows us to appreciate the picturesque beauty in nature juxtaposed with destruction. The tower engulfed in flames stands as a stark reminder of the devastating consequences faced by urban cities during times of war. The black silhouette against an orange-hued backdrop evokes a sense of urgency and danger. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, this photograph also highlights environmental issues such as pollution and climate change. The billowing smoke serves as a visual representation of how human conflicts can impact our surroundings, leaving behind ashes and scars on both land and faith. In this moment frozen in time, we are reminded of the bravery exhibited by firefighters who confront these raging infernos head-on. It is through their tireless efforts that hope emerges from darkness. This image encapsulates not only the immediate turmoil but also serves as a poignant commentary on global warming's potential long-term effects on our environment.
