EDITORS COMMENTS
In this powerful image captured by Romeo Ranoco, the aftermath of a fierce battle between government troops and pro-Islamic State militant groups is vividly portrayed. The flame rises ominously from damaged buildings, as if symbolizing both destruction and resilience in the face of violence. The war-torn area in Marawi city, located in the southern Philippines, bears witness to the devastating consequences of armed conflict. Debris litters the exterior surroundings, serving as a haunting reminder of lives disrupted and homes destroyed. The flames engulfing these ruins seem to dance with an eerie beauty against the backdrop of a desolate cityscape. Ranoco's creative use of light captures not only the destructive power unleashed upon this environment but also hints at nature's ability to reclaim what remains. The dangerous remnants left behind by armed conflict are juxtaposed with elements such as fire and air that have their own natural forces at play. This photograph serves as a stark reminder that even amidst chaos and ruin, there is still hope for rebuilding and renewal. It encapsulates both the fragility of architecture in times of violence and humanity's indomitable spirit when faced with adversity
