EDITORS COMMENTS
In this haunting image captured by Bassam Khabieh, smoke billows ominously from the war-torn town of Hamouriyeh in eastern Ghouta, near Damascus, Syria. The photograph, taken on February 21,2018, depicts the aftermath of an intense armed conflict that has left the town devastated and besieged. From a low angle view, we witness the destruction and despair inflicted upon this once-thriving community. The damaged minaret stands tall amidst a landscape littered with debris and dust-filled air. Nature's vibrant blue sky serves as a stark contrast to the desolation below. This creative use of environment highlights both the resilience of nature and the destructive power of violence. With no people present in the frame, our attention is solely drawn to the ruins and smoke rising into an ominous weathered atmosphere. The image captures a moment frozen in time - one that symbolizes adversity and loss experienced by countless innocent lives caught up in this devastating conflict. Bassam Khabieh's powerful print invites us to reflect on not only the physical destruction but also on its emotional impact. It reminds us that behind every shattered building lies stories untold; lives forever changed by violence and suffering.
