EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the haunting aftermath of the collapsed Morandi Bridge in Genoa, Italy. Taken by Stefano Rellandini, it offers a general view of the devastating scene that unfolded on August 14,2018. The image showcases the bridge's remnants amidst an urban cityscape at night, providing a unique aerial perspective that highlights both its architectural beauty and tragic demise. The composition is strikingly picturesque as darkness envelops the surroundings while scattered lights illuminate parts of the city below. This creative use of lighting adds depth to the photograph, emphasizing the stark contrast between destruction and resilience. From above, one can truly appreciate how this once majestic structure now lies in ruins. Rellandini's lens captures not only a physical collapse but also hints at metaphorical implications. It serves as a reminder of our vulnerability in face of nature's power and raises questions about infrastructure safety worldwide. Despite its somber subject matter, there is an undeniable beauty in nature evident here too – perhaps through witnessing how even amid devastation, life continues to thrive around it. This print stands as a powerful testament to human perseverance and serves as a poignant symbol for future endeavors towards safer engineering practices.
