EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful print captures the stark reality of life in a refugee camp located in Atmeh village, within Syria's rebel-held Idlib province. The makeshift tents, scattered across the landscape near the Turkish-Syrian border, stand as a testament to both human resilience and the devastating impact of conflict. In this image, taken by Umit Bektas on February 25th, 2018, we see rows upon rows of temporary shelters against an ominous backdrop. The stormy sky above reflects the turbulent circumstances that have forced these individuals to seek refuge here. With no people visible in the frame, attention is drawn solely to nature's elements and its interaction with this fragile settlement. The creative use of space becomes apparent as each tent finds its place amidst an unforgiving environment. Copy space is left intentionally blank to allow viewers to contemplate the enormity of displacement and loss experienced by those who call this place home. As we gaze at this photograph, it serves as a reminder that behind every statistic lies a story – stories filled with hope for better days ahead but overshadowed by uncertainty. It prompts us to reflect on our shared responsibility towards creating a more compassionate world where such scenes become mere remnants of history rather than ongoing realities for millions affected by conflict and displacement.
