EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Ronen Zvulun showcases the Israeli settlement of Ramot, situated in an arid and occupied area of the West Bank that was annexed to Jerusalem by Israel on January 22,2017. The image provides a general view from above, revealing the aftermath of an armed conflict that has left its mark on the ground below. With no people in sight, the open space emphasizes both the vastness of this environment and the absence of human activity. The cityscape blends seamlessly with nature as buildings sprawl across the landscape against a backdrop of clear blue skies. This aerial perspective offers a creative use of photography to capture not only the physical layout but also conveys a sense of tension between man-made structures and their surroundings. As we observe this scene devoid of life, it prompts contemplation about how weather conditions shape settlements like these in such challenging territories. The photograph serves as a reminder that despite being uninhabited at this moment, these settlements are deeply entwined with complex political issues and ongoing conflicts. Ronen Zvulun's powerful image invites viewers to confront uncomfortable truths about territorial disputes while appreciating his skillful portrayal from above. It is through photographs like these that we gain insight into landscapes shaped by human intervention and their impact on our shared world.
