In a series of photographs captured in Syria on the territories controlled by rebel groups, Narciso Contreras provides us with insights into everyday occurrences of the Syrian civil war.
The scenes of suffering, pain and destruction from the midst of battles between Assad’s army and the rebel groups bear witness to one of the worst Middle Eastern conflicts. Over the past three years, almost 200,000 people have lost their lives in conflicts between forces loyal to President Bashar al-Assad and those opposed to his rule. More than seven million people have been forced to leave their homes due the destruction of entire neighbourhoods.
Syria’s War: A Journal of Pain documents and deals with the Syrian war, but also tries to expose the myth of war by focusing on how war impacts and destroys the lives of ordinary people.
