EDITORS COMMENTS
In this powerful image captured by Khalil Ashawi, a woman walks past the haunting remains of damaged buildings in the rebel-controlled area of Maaret al-Numan town, located in Idlib province, Syria. The photograph was taken on May 13,2016, during a period of intense armed conflict that has ravaged the region. The woman's silhouette stands out against the backdrop of destruction and debris left behind by relentless violence. Her traditional clothes serve as a reminder of the rich cultural heritage that now finds itself overshadowed by devastation. Walking alone through this desolate environment, she appears unrecognizable - her face hidden from view. From above, we gain a unique perspective on the scale and extent of destruction caused by years of conflict. The once vibrant cityscape is reduced to ruins; its former glory replaced with an eerie silence. This photo serves as a stark reminder of the ongoing crisis faced by countless innocent people caught up in armed conflicts worldwide. It highlights not only their resilience but also their unwavering determination to carry on amidst unimaginable hardships. Through his creative use of composition and lighting, Ashawi captures both the physical and emotional toll inflicted upon communities affected by war. This image forces us to confront uncomfortable truths about human nature while simultaneously urging us to seek peaceful solutions for those trapped within such environments.
