EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by Kim Hong-Ji, we witness the unwavering dedication of a South Korean soldier as he stands guard at the truce village of Panmunjom. The demilitarized zone separating the two Koreas serves as the backdrop for this powerful image, taken on April 11,2018. The soldier remains unrecognizable in his uniform and bag hanging from his shoulder. Positioned against the serene landscape, his silhouette creates a striking contrast with the sunlit surroundings. With a creative use of shadows and lighting, Hong-Ji captures not only an individual but also symbolizes the collective strength and resilience of those who protect their nation. From behind, we see just one person standing tall amidst an otherwise empty village. This rear view emphasizes both solitude and determination in guarding action. The composition invites viewers to reflect on the sacrifices made by soldiers who dedicate themselves to maintaining peace in such volatile regions. This photograph is a testament to human courage and duty; it reminds us that even in times of uncertainty, there are individuals willing to stand up for what they believe in. As we admire this image captured during daylight hours, let us appreciate those who selflessly serve their countries while hoping for lasting peace between nations divided.
