EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful print captures the devastating aftermath of an armed conflict in al-Harak town, near Deraa, Syria. The image showcases a damaged bathroom within a house, serving as a haunting reminder of the violence that has ravaged this region. The scene is one of chaos and destruction, with debris scattered across the floor and walls covered in dirt. The exterior view reveals a building in ruins, its architecture now reduced to rubble. Shadows cast by the sunlight create an eerie atmosphere, emphasizing the bleakness of this environment. Through the broken window, glimpses of the sky can be seen - a stark contrast to the turmoil below. Alaa Faqir's creative use of composition highlights both the physical damage inflicted upon this bathroom and its symbolic significance. This space was once associated with cleanliness and comfort but now stands as a testament to loss and devastation. There are no people present in this photograph; instead, it serves as a silent witness to human suffering during times of crisis. It reflects how conflicts destroy not only lives but also entire communities. In capturing this image, Alaa Faqir sheds light on an often overlooked aspect of war - its impact on everyday spaces like bathrooms that were once taken for granted. This thought-provoking print invites viewers to contemplate the lasting consequences of violence on our built environment and challenges us to strive for peace amidst such destruction.
