In this powerful, symbol-laden image, we see a couple walking hand in hand through the ruins of a destroyed city. The surroundings are characterised by chaos and destruction. Collapsed buildings, smoking rubble, the sky darkened by clouds of smoke - a post-apocalyptic scenario reminiscent of both war and environmental catastrophe.
And yet the focus is not on devastation, but on humanity: Two people united in walking, in trust, in love. As if they are walking through the end of the world, but not letting go of each other. It is an image of hope in the face of utter destruction.
The contrast between the destroyed surroundings and the quiet intimacy of the couple is deeply moving. The image not only speaks of loss, but also of resilience, cohesion and the ability to maintain humanity and love even in the darkest of moments.
