EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Bernard Gerard captures a poignant moment in Qatar's history. In the bustling city of Wakrah, old buildings are being demolished, making way for modern developments and progress. The image showcases the rich Arabian architecture that once adorned these structures, now reduced to ruins. As we gaze at this vertical composition, our eyes are drawn to a group of children standing amidst the debris. Their innocent faces reflect a mix of curiosity and sadness as they witness their heritage being dismantled before their very eyes. These young ones represent the future generation who will grow up in a vastly different landscape than their ancestors did. The photograph serves as an archive of Qatar's past, preserving memories and stories within its frame. It reminds us of the rapid transformation occurring across the Gulf region, where tradition often gives way to contemporary aspirations. Gerard's skillful capture not only documents this significant demolition but also invites contemplation on themes such as change, preservation, and cultural identity. It prompts us to question what is lost when old buildings vanish from our cities' skylines. Through his lens, Gerard offers us a glimpse into Qatar's evolving landscape and encourages us to reflect on how progress can sometimes come at a cost – particularly when it erases tangible links to our collective history.
