EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Jon Bower captures the essence of downtown Yangon, Myanmar on a bleak winter day. The image depicts a street that seems to be frozen in time, with its monotonous and grimy surroundings creating an atmosphere of gloominess and emptiness. The cityscape is adorned with an abundance of satellite dishes, cables, and cluttered rooftops. These elements give the impression of a city struggling to keep up with modern technology while still holding onto its traditional roots. The convergence of wires creates a chaotic yet fascinating pattern against the grey sky, adding depth to the overall composition. As one looks up towards the facades and walls, it becomes apparent that this street is packed with life despite its gaunt appearance. Open windows reveal glimpses into cramped living spaces adorned with air conditioners and balconies filled with plants. Each balcony tells its own story as residents try to make their mark on this otherwise stark environment. In this photograph, Bower manages to capture both the ugliness and beauty hidden within Yangon's urban landscape. It serves as a reminder that even in seemingly desolate places, there are stories waiting to be told if we take the time to look beyond the surface clutter.
