EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful print by Rick Alarcon captures the haunting remnants of a dark chapter in Beirut's history. The image showcases the once majestic Holiday Inn hotel, now reduced to a mere carcass of its former glory. Located in downtown Beirut, this iconic building served as a chilling reminder of the brutal 1976 war that ravaged Lebanon. During those tumultuous times, the Holiday Inn hotel became an infamous snipers' nest, strategically positioned for military advantage. Today, it stands as a testament to the devastating consequences of conflict and serves as a stark reminder of the resilience and strength exhibited by the people of Lebanon. The photograph beautifully portrays both architectural decay and historical significance. The visible damage inflicted by missiles and bombs tells a story of violence and destruction that has scarred this city for generations. Yet amidst these ruins lies an undeniable beauty - one that emerges from capturing history frozen in time. Alarcon's lens skillfully encapsulates not only physical devastation but also evokes emotions tied to loss, abandonment, and endurance. This image invites contemplation on how wars shape landscapes while leaving lasting imprints on societies. Through this poignant visual narrative, we are compelled to reflect upon our shared responsibility to prevent such tragedies from recurring anywhere else in our world.
