EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by Pascal Rossignol, we witness a dramatic scene unfolding in Athens. The iconic Parthenon stands tall amidst a thick cloud of smoke, its majestic pillars surrounded by an atmosphere of unrest and chaos. This haunting image captures the aftermath of riots that erupted following a rally against austerity economic measures and corruption at Athens Syntagma Square on June 15,2011. The smoke engulfs the surroundings, creating an eerie ambiance as it mingles with the clear blue sky above. The fluttering national flag nearby serves as a poignant reminder of the political turmoil gripping Greece during this period. Against this backdrop, the Parthenon's timeless beauty emerges defiantly from within the haze – a symbol of resilience amidst adversity. This creative use of nature and environment enhances our perception of these ancient ruins and their significance to Greek history. With no people present in the frame, our attention is solely focused on this architectural marvel which has withstood centuries. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are reminded not only of Greece's rich cultural heritage but also its struggle for change and reform. It serves as a powerful testament to how even in times of civil unrest, landmarks like the Parthenon continue to stand tall as enduring symbols of strength and endurance.
