EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the haunting beauty of a house for sale in the old city of Mosul, Iraq. The image, taken by Abdullah Rashid on June 30,2019, showcases the devastating effects of war on this once vibrant neighborhood. The exterior of the house bears witness to the destructive forces that have ravaged this urban city. The damaged facade and abandoned appearance tell a story of resilience amidst destruction. Nature has begun to reclaim its territory as vines creep up the walls and vegetation sprouts from every crevice. Despite its dilapidated state, there is an undeniable charm in this old house's weathered features. The creative use of copy space allows viewers to imagine what life must have been like within these walls before they were torn apart by conflict. The absence of people emphasizes the desolation and serves as a reminder of how war can displace entire communities. As we gaze upon this scene, we are reminded not only of the horrors endured but also inspired by humanity's ability to rebuild and heal. This photograph stands as a testament to both our capacity for destruction and our unwavering spirit to rebuild even in times when hope seems lost.
