EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by Maxim Shemetov, we are transported to the Pasvik valley in Finnmark county, Norway, where an observational tower stands tall on the Norwegian side of the border with Russia. The image captures a sense of unease and tension that lingers in the air as military buildup becomes a cause for concern. The towering structure serves as a silent witness to the delicate balance between these neighboring nations. Its vantage point offers an unobstructed view of the vast landscape that stretches out before it - a symbolic representation of both connection and division. As our eyes wander through this powerful visual narrative, we can't help but wonder about the stories hidden within those borders. What secrets lie beneath? What hopes and fears do they hold? Shemetov's lens skillfully captures not only the physicality of this observation post but also its metaphorical weight. It reminds us that beyond politics and geography, there are real people living their lives on either side - individuals who share more similarities than differences. This photograph invites us to reflect on larger themes such as security, diplomacy, and international relations. It urges us to question our assumptions about borders and explore ways in which understanding can bridge divides. Ultimately, Shemetov's artistry compels us to confront our own unease over military tensions while reminding us of humanity's universal desire for peace and harmony across all borders.
