EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of downtown Yangon, Myanmar, on a bleak winter day in January 2013. The city street is a symphony of contrasts - from its grimy and gaunt facades to the cluttered chaos of satellite dishes and cables that festoon every corner. As one gazes upon this monotonous scene, it becomes apparent that this urban canyon is trapped in an aesthetic struggle between beauty and ugliness. The monochrome palette adds to the overall gloomy atmosphere, with muted tones dominating the landscape. Open windows reveal crowded balconies and verandas adorned with air conditioners, while roofs are crammed with television wires. The converging lines of buildings create an abstract emptiness that seems to stretch into infinity. Despite its stark appearance, there is a certain charm hidden within this photograph's depths. It serves as a reminder of the resilience and resourcefulness of Yangon's inhabitants who have adapted to their surroundings by transforming them into functional spaces for communication. Jon Bower's lens has captured not just a physical space but also an emotional state - one filled with both despair and hope. This image invites us to reflect on our own perceptions of beauty and ugliness in urban environments while reminding us that even amidst cluttered chaos, there can be moments of unexpected harmony.
