EDITORS COMMENTS
In this breathtaking print captured by Murad Sezer, a Turkish border watch tower stands tall and imposing against the backdrop of a vibrant sunset at the Turkish-Syrian border near Suruc in Sanliurfa province. The creative use of silhouettes beautifully highlights the watchtower's presence as it overlooks an open space that stretches into infinity. This image serves as a powerful reminder of the ongoing conflict between Turkey and Syria, with armed conflicts raging just beyond this very border. As clouds paint the sky with hues of orange and pink, nature's beauty contrasts sharply with the harsh reality faced by those living in these war-torn regions. The absence of people emphasizes both the desolation and resilience found within these surroundings. It is here that nearly 140,000 Syrian Kurds sought refuge during one of the fastest exoduses witnessed throughout the three-year civil war. This photograph encapsulates their journey – from despair to hope – symbolized by a watchtower standing firm amidst chaos. As sunlight filters through darkened clouds, it illuminates not only this scene but also sheds light on humanity's capacity for compassion amid adversity. With its vast copy space, this image invites contemplation about borders, immigration policies, and societal implications in times of conflict. Murad Sezer's skillful composition captures both atmospheric tranquility and underlying tension within a single frame—a testament to his ability to convey complex narratives through visual storytelling.
