EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful print captures the devastating aftermath of a tsunami that struck Patong, the busiest part of Phuket in Thailand. The image shows the heartbreaking scene as bodies of foreign tourists are being brought out from a flooded supermarket located in the basement. The sheer destruction and loss of life is evident, highlighting the immense tragedy that unfolded on this fateful day. Patong, known for its tightly condensed area filled with hotels, bars, and shops, was bustling with thousands of tourists during peak season when disaster struck on December 27th. This catastrophe serves as a stark reminder of how quickly nature's fury can turn paradise into chaos. The print by Leon Schadeberg not only captures the immediate impact but also raises important issues surrounding environmental concerns in this region. Tsunamis are natural disasters triggered by seismic activity undersea or volcanic eruptions and have long-lasting effects on both human lives and ecosystems. While it is essential to acknowledge the significance and power behind this photograph, it is equally important to respect its sensitive nature. Let us remember those who lost their lives in this tragic event while reflecting upon our responsibility towards safeguarding our environment against such calamities in South East Asia and beyond.
