EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a breathtaking view of the Old Sanaa city in Yemen. Taken on March 27,2018, by renowned photographer Khaled Abdullah for Reuters Images, it showcases the unique blend of ancient architecture and urban city life. The image depicts a cityscape filled with historic buildings that stand tall against the backdrop of a clear blue sky. However, amidst this picturesque scene lies evidence of the ongoing armed conflict and crisis that has plagued Yemen. A hole in a metal wall serves as a stark reminder of the violence and destruction experienced by its people. Through this creative use of framing, Abdullah highlights both the resilience and vulnerability found within this environment. The photograph also draws attention to the strength and beauty inherent in architectural elements such as stainless steel structures. These structures symbolize hope amid adversity while reflecting light onto an otherwise gloomy situation. Notably absent from this image are any human figures, emphasizing how conflict can displace communities and disrupt daily life. Instead, viewers are invited to contemplate the impact of these circumstances on an empty but resilient city. Overall, Khaled Abdullah's powerful composition invites us to reflect upon not only the physical landscape but also the unseen struggles faced by those living within it.
