EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Fayaz Aziz, we are confronted with a thought-provoking image of a pile of recyclable bullet casings. The photograph was taken at a foundry in Peshawar, Pakistan on August 15,2017. The sight is both striking and symbolic, as it showcases the creative use of old military ammunition for the production of copper wires. These discarded bullet casings have been repurposed to serve a new purpose – contributing to the recycling process and ultimately becoming an essential component in the creation of valuable copper wires. The rusted appearance of the bullet casings adds an intriguing element to the composition, hinting at their previous life as tools used for protection or destruction. Now transformed through recycling efforts, they represent resilience and renewal. This image offers us a glimpse into the world behind-the-scenes; where metal processing takes place within an armoury-like setting. It highlights how even materials associated with conflict can find new life through sustainable practices such as recycling. With no people present in this photograph, our attention is solely focused on this unique arrangement of recycled bullet casings. Through his lens, Fayaz Aziz invites us to reflect upon our own consumption patterns and consider how we can contribute towards creating a more environmentally conscious future.
