EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the haunting beauty of Yemen's Ma'rib, showcasing a damaged mud brick citadel that stands as a poignant reminder of the country's turbulent past. The image transports us back to the aftermath of the civil war that ravaged Yemen from 1962 to 1970, leaving behind this crumbling architectural marvel. The composition highlights the arid climate and dry, sandy surroundings that have shaped this ancient city. The dilapidated state of the citadel is evident in every crack and crevice, revealing its vulnerability to time and conflict. Its weathered walls tell stories of resilience and endurance against all odds. The horizontal frame emphasizes the vastness of this historical site, while also drawing attention to its isolation - there are no people present in this desolate landscape. This absence further accentuates both the solitude felt within these ruins and their significance as a travel destination for those seeking an authentic glimpse into Yemen's rich cultural heritage. Through this mesmerizing photograph, we are transported to another era where tradition meets decay; where sandstorms whisper secrets from centuries gone by. It serves as a powerful testament to humanity's ability to endure amidst destruction and reminds us of our responsibility to preserve such precious remnants for future generations
