EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, the night sky above the war-torn Syrian town of Kobani becomes a canvas for the mesmerizing display of tracer rounds. The streaks of light cut through the darkness, leaving behind a trail that symbolizes both danger and resilience. Captured from the Mursitpinar crossing on the Turkish-Syrian border in Suruc, this image offers a glimpse into the intensity of armed conflict. The urban landscape below stands as a stark contrast to the chaos unfolding overhead. With no people visible, nature takes a backseat as buildings bear witness to destruction and turmoil. The parallel lines formed by these tracer rounds serve as an eerie reminder of how closely intertwined life and death can be in times of crisis. Kai Pfaffenbach's creative use of time exposure allows us to appreciate not only the beauty but also the gravity of this moment frozen in time. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are reminded that beyond borders and politics lies human suffering and resilience. This image serves as a powerful testament to both our capacity for destruction and our ability to find hope amidst chaos. It is an invitation to reflect on how armed conflicts shape landscapes, lives, and futures - urging us never to forget those caught in its crossfire.
