EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of a scorching summer day in Turkey. Taken on July 2,2017, at Menekse beach in Istanbul, the image showcases a brave man diving fearlessly into the refreshing sea amidst soaring temperatures. As Turkey grappled with an intense heatwave over the weekend, record-breaking temperatures engulfed much of the country and even sparked forest fires in the Aegean region. The photograph by Yasin Akgul perfectly encapsulates both the beauty and challenges presented by this extreme weather phenomenon. The swimmer's graceful dive contrasts against a backdrop of shimmering waves, inviting viewers to imagine themselves seeking solace from the sweltering heat. The general view of this picturesque beach scene evokes feelings of tranquility and escape. Akgul's lens not only freezes this moment but also serves as a reminder that nature can be unpredictable and unforgiving. This powerful visual narrative illustrates how climate change impacts our daily lives, prompting us to reflect on our responsibility towards preserving our environment. As an illustration of summer's relentless heatwaves, this photograph resonates beyond its aesthetic appeal. It urges us to appreciate both the serenity and power inherent in nature while emphasizing humanity's need for sustainable practices to mitigate such extreme weather events.
