EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Alexandros Avramidis captures a hauntingly beautiful scene of a dried-out part of Lake Koronia in Greece. Taken on September 19,2019, the image showcases the devastating impact of climate change and its toll on our planet's precious water resources. In this photograph, we witness an eerie landscape where what was once a thriving lake now lies barren and desolate. The cracked earth stretches as far as the eye can see, creating intricate patterns that tell a story of drought and environmental distress. The absence of water reveals itself through layers of sediment and remnants left behind by receding waves. Avramidis skillfully frames this scene to emphasize both the vastness and fragility of nature. The composition draws attention to the stark contrast between lifeless land and distant mountains, reminding us how interconnected ecosystems are affected by human actions. As we contemplate this image, it serves as a powerful reminder that our actions have consequences for our environment. It urges us to reflect upon our responsibility towards preserving natural resources for future generations. Through his lens, Avramidis prompts us to question how we can mitigate climate change's impact on vital bodies of water like Lake Koronia before they become mere relics in photographs like these.
