EDITORS COMMENTS
In this powerful and evocative print captured by Omar Sanadiki, we witness the intensity of armed conflict in Syria. The image showcases a Syrian Army tank firing near the Yarmouk Palestinian camp in Damascus. As forces loyal to President Bashar al-Assad operate the tank, its cannon releases billowing smoke and dust into the air, creating an atmosphere of danger and crisis. The composition highlights the juxtaposition between man-made military machinery and the natural environment surrounding it. With no people present in the frame, attention is drawn solely to the destructive capabilities of this war machine against a backdrop of open space. The creative use of lighting emphasizes every detail - from weathered metal surfaces to swirling clouds of smoke. This photograph serves as a stark reminder of the ongoing armed conflict that has ravaged Syria for years. It captures not only a specific moment but also encapsulates broader themes such as power struggles, displacement, and human suffering. Through his lens, Sanadiki brings us face-to-face with one aspect of this complex crisis – showcasing both its immediate impact on individuals living within these war-torn regions and its wider implications for global peace.
