Contemplation Amidst the Floods

In this evocative black-and-white image, an elderly man leans over a weathered bridge, gazing at the swollen waters in Chittagong, Bangladesh, during the 2024 floods. A bicycle, resting against the bridge’s railing, suggests both movement and stillness, juxtaposing the dynamic forces of nature with human resilience. Dark clouds loom overhead, casting a somber mood over the landscape, symbolizing the uncertainty and challenges brought by the flooding. The power lines cutting through the sky reflect the fragile connection between progress and nature’s overwhelming force.
