EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Sertac Kayar captures the haunting aftermath of security operations and clashes between Turkish security forces and Kurdish militants in Diyarbakir, Turkey. The image showcases a scene of destruction as damaged buildings stand as solemn reminders of the violence that once engulfed this urban city. The exterior of these buildings tells a story of chaos and devastation, with debris scattered across the ground and walls bearing the scars of armed conflict. From an aerial view, we witness the creative use of space within this city landscape, where remnants of what was once a thriving environment now lay in ruins. The contrast between the desolate remains and the vast expanse of sky above highlights both the resilience and vulnerability present in such crisis-stricken areas. This photograph serves as a powerful testament to how violence can destroy not only physical structures but also disrupts daily life for those who call this place home. In this frame devoid of people, we are left to contemplate the impact that such confrontations have on communities caught in their midst. The weathered exteriors serve as silent witnesses to past events while reminding us that healing is still needed for these wounded surroundings. Sertac Kayar's lens captures more than just an image; it encapsulates a moment frozen in time—a stark reminder that even amidst destruction, there is beauty to be found through artistic expression.
