EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Riccardo Gangale, the raw beauty of nature and the remnants of human existence converge in a mesmerizing scene. Set against the backdrop of an active volcano, an abandoned villa stands as a haunting testament to the resilience and fragility of life. Located within the breathtaking Virunga National Park in the Democratic Republic of Congo, this image encapsulates both awe-inspiring natural wonders and poignant reminders of our impermanence. The towering mountain dominates the landscape, its majestic presence juxtaposed with billowing clouds and wisps of smoke that hint at its volatile nature. Amidst this dramatic setting lies a dilapidated house, now reduced to ruins. Its crumbling walls bear witness to time's relentless passage and serve as a stark reminder that even structures once filled with life can succumb to decay. Nature reclaims what was once man-made; vines creep up walls while trees grow through broken windows, intertwining with memories left behind. Gangale's illustration skillfully captures not only the physical elements but also evokes emotions tied to nostalgia and abandonment. This vertical composition invites viewers into a world where past meets present, where human aspirations are dwarfed by nature's grandeur. Through his lens, Gangale prompts us to reflect on our place within these vast landscapes—our impact on them and their power over us. It serves as a powerful reminder that amidst destruction or abandonment lies potential for rebirth—a testament to both nature's resilience and humanity's ability to adapt in
