EDITORS COMMENTS
In this gripping photo captured by Goran Tomasevic, the aftermath of a devastating armed conflict is vividly portrayed. The image showcases an unexploded mortar shell fired by the Syrian Army, abandoned in the war-torn Mleha suburb of Damascus. Taken on January 25,2013, it serves as a haunting reminder of the destructive power that ravaged this once-thriving community. The close-up shot reveals intricate details of the damaged exterior of the mortar shell. Its unrecognizable form stands as a symbol of both human resilience and tragedy amidst crisis. With no people present in the frame, we are left to contemplate its potential to destroy lives and infrastructure. Tomasevic's creative use of composition draws attention to every scar and mark etched onto this unexploded bomb. The copy space surrounding it further emphasizes its solitary presence against a backdrop marred by conflict. This photograph not only captures a moment frozen in time but also encapsulates the wider narrative behind armed conflicts worldwide. It sheds light on their devastating consequences while urging us to reflect upon our collective responsibility for peacebuilding efforts
