EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo captured by Murad Sezer, we witness a powerful scene unfolding on the Bosphorus Bridge in Istanbul, Turkey. The image showcases a police armored vehicle employing a water cannon to disperse anti-government forces during an intense confrontation that took place on July 16,2016. The steam rising from the water cannon creates an ethereal atmosphere, blending with the fog and creating an otherworldly effect. The exterior of the armored vehicle remains unrecognizable due to its silhouette against the hazy backdrop. Shadows cast by both people and trees add depth to the composition while emphasizing the gravity of the situation. Against a dramatic sky, this creative use of force is depicted as multiple streams of water cascade through the air towards their intended targets. The bridge itself serves as a symbolic stage for this clash between authority and dissenting voices. As smoke billows around them, it becomes evident that this military vehicle plays a crucial role in maintaining order amidst chaos. Murad Sezer's photograph encapsulates not only this specific moment but also captures the tension and volatility present within society at large.
