EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Khalil Ashawi, a thick plume of smoke rises ominously from the area in Afrin, Syria. The image portrays a landscape engulfed in an indistinct haze, as violence and armed conflict continue to ravage the region. Against the backdrop of a vast sky, the creative use of smoke creates an eerie atmosphere that evokes danger and uncertainty. From above, we are granted a distant view of the mountainous terrain below. The absence of any human presence accentuates the desolation caused by this ongoing crisis. Nature itself seems affected by these turbulent times, as even the weather takes on a foreboding tone. The photograph serves as a powerful reminder of the environmental impact brought about by armed conflicts. It highlights how landscapes once teeming with life can be transformed into scenes marked by destruction and chaos. As viewers gaze upon this thought-provoking image, they are invited to reflect on the consequences of violence and its toll on both humanity and nature alike. Through its haunting composition and clever utilization of space, Khalil Ashawi's photograph encapsulates not only one moment in time but also echoes deeper narratives surrounding conflict-ridden regions around the world.
