Father Jorge “Chueco” Romero was arrested along with other priests and protesters while supporting a demonstration by pensioners in Buenos Aires, demanding higher pensions and the restoration of free medication, a right cut by the austerity policies of Javier Milei’s government. Every Wednesday, retirees gather in front of Congress to protest the minimum pension—currently under $300—and the loss of free medication. The Inter-American Commission on Human Rights and other organizations have expressed concern over repeated repression and violence. On March 12, more than 46 people were injured, including a protester who lost sight in one eye, a photographer with a fractured skull, and an 87-year-old retiree hurt by police. The violence has increased public support for the protests, including priests of the “Option for the Poor” movement, such as Fathers Romero and Francisco “Paco” Olveira, who work in impoverished neighborhoods and have been repeatedly detained.

Thousands were killed in the 12-day Israeli invasion of Iran. At the funeral, the daughter wanted to take a selfie with her father, and it didn't go down well with some in attendance.

People in Korail sleep where their homes once stood—on ash-covered ground, under the open sky. From above, it looks like a refugee camp. For 45 years, since 1980, this has been home to Dhaka’s unseen workers—domestic helpers, rickshaw pullers, and garment laborers who keep the city running. Fires happen a few times every year, but this one destroyed 1,500 homes, leaving 6,000 people with nothing. Yet even in the ruins, NGOs and volunteers move through the debris, giving food, water, and blankets, while strangers sit with survivors, sharing meals. Amid all this, 6,000 people hold onto each other—and the kindness of those who came.

On 28 November 2025, families in Korail, one of Dhaka’s largest informal settlements, slept inside the burned remains of their homes after a fire on 25 November destroyed nearly 1,500 houses and left thousands without shelter. From above, the ruins form a chaotic maze of charred tin sheets, collapsed roofs, and scattered debris — a neighborhood reduced to ashes overnight. With nowhere else to go, survivors returned to the concrete footprints of their former rooms, spreading mats over fire-scarred floors and huddling beneath thin blankets to shield children from the open sky and late-November cold. Bright fabrics and scattered belongings — sandals, pots, half-burnt objects — stand in stark contrast to the blackened wreckage, testifying to lives abruptly interrupted. This series documents both the scale of destruction and the intimate reality of survival, revealing fragility, resilience, and the determination to rebuild dignity and home from the ashes.

In Dhaka’s Korail settlement, a family spends the night under the open sky on a single mattress, sharing a blanket amid the ruins of their burned home. Charred tin sheets, destroyed furniture, and scattered belongings surround them. Though they have lost everything and their future remains uncertain, they cling to each other, struggling to survive after the devastating fire.

Lebanon witnessed a sharp escalation of hostilities beginning in October 2023, intensifying further in September 2024 as Israeli airstrikes expanded across the country. The attacks caused widespread destruction in residential areas and critical infrastructure, forcing many civilians to flee their homes. This series documents the war through moments captured across different regions of Lebanon — from the immediate aftermath of airstrikes and rescue operations to mourning, displacement, and daily life under constant threat. The photographs reflect the civilian experience of war, moving between loss and survival. The series concludes in the southern town of Khiam, where residents gathered for a communal iftar among the ruins following a ceasefire, highlighting the persistence of life amid devastation.

This series of photographs was taken in Sudzha in March 2025, immediately after it was liberated by the Russian army. For seven months, the town in the Kursk Region was occupied by the Ukrainian Armed Forces, and its local residents had to survive under heavy shelling, without food or medicine. As a result of Operation Potok, Russian paratroopers liberated Sudzha. The town is still being rebuilt, and peaceful life is beginning to revive.

Recurring monsoon floods continue to devastate Bangladesh, driven by intense seasonal rainfall and upstream water surges from northeast India. In 2024 alone, more than 5.8 million people were affected, 71 lives were lost, and economic damages exceeded $1.2 billion. Entire villages in districts such as Kurigram, Feni, and Chattogram were submerged, destroying homes, farmland, and critical infrastructure. Families sought shelter in overcrowded schools and public buildings as sanitation systems collapsed and clean water grew scarce, increasing the risk of disease. From 2022 to 2025, repeated flooding has exposed both the country’s climate vulnerability and the resilience of communities struggling to rebuild after each disaster.

The Elbeden festival of historical reenactment. In 2025, it was held for the sixth time. This year, the festival is themed around the 80th anniversary of Victory, the Year of the Defender of the Fatherland, and the 125th birth anniversary of Pyotr Gavrilov, Hero of the Soviet Union. Pyotr Gavrilov is believed to be the last defender of the Brest Fortress. About 100 people and 20 pieces of military equipment took part in the reenactment, "At the Walls of Koenigsberg." Pictured is a father and daughter who participated in the reenactment. It seems they had been waiting for this reunion for a long time and are savoring the moment.

A young street musician named Alex plays his guitar near the Greek Parliament in central Athens as clashes erupt between police and demonstrators during a protest. The gathering was held to mark two years since the Tempi train disaster on February 28, 2023, when a head-on collision between a passenger and freight train in central Greece killed 57 people, prompting nationwide outrage and ongoing demands for accountability.

I made this photograph during the vibrant Gajan festival of West Bengal, where devotion transforms ordinary men into living embodiments of divinity. When he turned toward my lens, the golden crown caught the festival lights, I chose a slow shutter to let the fire trails swirl around her, as if time itself bowed before Mahadev. Behind him, another performer emerged from shadow, grounding the frame in collective ritual. But it was his gaze that anchored me — fierce, composed, timeless. In that moment, I wasn’t just documenting a ritual. I was witnessing faith becoming form — Shiva walking among us during Gajan atleast how the hermit was feeling and how the believers feel.

Here, we can see three embodiments of resilience: a woman who lived in besieged Leningrad and lost her parents in those years but preserved herself. A home front worker, unaware of her father's fate, who continued to work tirelessly. The third, also a child of war, today mourns her son, who died in the special military operation. They did not choose their fate, but they were able to withstand the hardships of life. Today, their world is narrowed to the walls of their own home. Age prevents them from going outside, and their living space is limited to a room, a table, a bed, and a window overlooking the courtyard. Here, among old photographs, the past remains close at hand. In their hands are yellowed letters, in their eyes — memories spanning decades. Their lives continue in silence, where resilience becomes not a resounding feat, but a daily choice to live on.

On a dusty football field in a rural village, Tania runs with dreams bigger than her circumstances. The second of six children, she comes from a struggling family. Her father’s work as a sand truck driver is irregular due to illegal mining, and her pregnant mother, Shikha, fights daily to feed them all. In a community where early marriage often ends girls’ education, football offers Tania another path. A small local academy has become a place of hope. Two girls from the same field have already reached the national level, changing how the village sees its daughters. Tania trains relentlessly—diving into mud, running breathless, often on an empty stomach. Proper nutrition is a luxury her family cannot always afford, yet she refuses to give up. For Tania and many others, football is more than a game. It keeps them in school, builds confidence, and challenges tradition.

They have been stripped of even the right to a voice. Since the Taliban’s return to power in August 2021, the lives of Afghan women have come to resemble a boundless, silent confinement. They are forbidden to speak in public, to pursue education beyond the sixth grade, to move freely, to play sports, denied even the most elemental right: to be seen. Music has faded from the streets, and theaters and places of beauty have fallen into stillness, as though creativity itself had been declared a transgression. And yet, in defiance of fear, faint echoes of hope endure. In hidden basements and forgotten attics, soft voices rise once more. There, beyond the reach of watchful eyes, young women reclaim fragments of their dreams: tracing lines on paper, surrendering to the rhythm of dance, turning pages, strengthening body and spirit. The fragile glow of their passions trembles in the darkness: even in the deepest night, the human soul continues its search for light.

A war-torn tank from the Soviet-Afghan war, now a backdrop for Afghan selfies, stands beside a man selling apples.

Hamidah and Saiful (Right) collects and sort through plastic waste, looking for the better-quality materials to sell to a local factory in Sumberejo village, Malang Regency, East Java, Indonesia, May 30, 2025. Several villages in East Java Province, including their Rice fields, have become dump sites for imported plastic waste for many years, funneled through local paper factories. The waste is residue from paper recycling processes. It includes a mix of paper pulp, plastic food and beverage packaging, and even electronic waste. Many of the products are recognizable as having been sold in European Union countries, Australia, the United Kingdom, and Japan. Plastic has become a form of currency. Tofu factories and Burning lime, desperate for cheap fuel, found it in the endless piles of discarded foreign plastic. Thick, black smoke, laden with dioxins and other toxins, billowed from makeshift kilns, staining the sky and the lungs of the villagers.

As the river’s water recedes, a hidden world emerges a vast sandbar transformed into a temporary pasture. Herds of cattle gathered under the open sky, tended by local herders. The textured sand, scattered water pools, and makeshift enclosures reflect resilience, adaptation, and a rural way of life shaped by the river’s changing rhythm.

In a small village in Bangladesh, where poverty shapes daily life, a group of men transform into gods and demons from Hindu mythology—Kali, Durga, Shiva, and the tiger spirit. Carrying their handmade costumes in a wooden box, they perform from house to house, turning narrow alleys and courtyards into sacred stages. For them, this ritual is more than theater—it is survival. The nightly dramas are their only source of income, feeding their families while offering the village moments of faith, color, and escape. Laborers by day and deities by night, these men embody devotion, resilience, and the enduring power of storytelling.

Over the decades, Manpura has experienced significant ecological losses: Land Loss: The island's area has reduced from 148 square kilometres in 1973 to just 114 square kilometres by 2010, with significant erosion along its northern and northwestern shores. Soil Erosion: Heavy rainfall, cyclones, storm surges, and rising sea levels have stripped away fertile topsoil, threatening agricultural productivity and livelihoods. Crop Loss: Agricultural land has decreased by 38% since 1990 due to morphological changes and human activities. Cultural Erosion: The island's intangible losses, such as declining health, emotional distress, and a weakened sense of identity, have further alienated its inhabitants from their heritage. In this set of series I had represents the wonder Island Manpura in some vibrant colorful frames where too many tourist can not be spotted as everybody thinks that it is already in endangered. But the harsh reality is that Manpura will be almost drowned by more decades.

The fall of 2025. The first trip to the Donetsk People’s Republic. Driving down a broken road and stepping into a rocket-scarred house for the first time, you're filled with terror. It feels like a nightmare. But within a month, those same houses start to feel familiar, and the locals begin to feel like family. You catch yourself thinking: this is normal, too. You can live here, too. They live without water or electricity, but they have stoves and cats. Windows are covered with plastic film instead of glass. Danger is constant. Shelling continues. And still, the desire to live persists. Despite everything, people cook borscht and grow flowers. And gradually, you adapt. What first seemed unbearable becomes everyday life within a month. The war hasn't disappeared; it's just become background. But the people remain – and they keep on living.

I was on my way there, while someone else was on their way from there. We passed each other in the fog.

Zallaq, Bahrain: From the "Tekball" game competitions within the competitions of the third Youth Olympic Games held in Bahrain.

The photograph captures a fleeting moment in time. The young woman’s serene face forms the focal point of the composition, while a purple ribbon drifts through the air beside her, seeming almost an extension of her inner world. It is an instant in which all her strength and concentration are gathered into a single point. The image conveys a sense of quiet confidence, revealing her readiness for action, growth, and transformation.

Athletes warm up on springboards and platforms of varying heights as they prepare to compete in the finals of the All-Russian Kremlin Cup diving competition.

I wanted to capture the silence that exists within the noise of boxing. This portrait isn't about the fight itself, but the psychological weight and the introspection of the athlete. By using a cinematic light, I aimed to turn her defense into a moment of pure human vulnerability.

At first light in Sylhet, Bangladesh’s largest floating vegetable market surges into motion as boats arrive loaded with fresh harvests. By morning, farmers and traders gather along the water’s edge to auction produce, sustaining a river-based economy that has shaped local life for generations. Seen from above, the marketplace transforms into a living tapestry — grids of vibrant vegetables, narrow boats aligned like brushstrokes, and human figures weaving through the scene with purposeful rhythm. The geometry of color and movement reveals an intricate choreography of commerce, cooperation, and survival. This aerial perspective elevates an ordinary morning ritual into a striking visual narrative, illustrating how water, trade, and community converge to sustain everyday life.

The image shows a saline lake photographed from above, where a group of greylag geese glide across the surface, leaving delicate linear trails behind them. The unique moment lies in how their quiet movement transforms the lake into an abstract painting of deep purples and bright orange tones. What surprises me most is that the scene looks almost like flowing lava or a cosmic landscape rather than water. I hope viewers take away an appreciation for the hidden beauty of nature and realize how a simple, peaceful moment can become extraordinary when seen from a different perspective.

More than 50,000 farmers in the coastal area of Chittagong, Bangladesh, are involved in salt cultivation. Some farmers cultivate salt on their own land, while others lease other people's land. They cultivate the salt by trapping seawater in prepared land and drying it in the sun in several stages. Children here grow up watching salt farming from a young age and also help their families in this work When I took this photo, this farmer was collecting salt with his two children. The photo was taken from Bashkhali area of Chittagong, Bangladesh.

Muslim devotees perform Friday prayers on a floating bridge during Biswa Ijtema in Tongi, Gazipur, Bangladesh, on January 31, 2025. Captured from directly above, worshippers gather in rows on connected pontoons over the river. With limited space around the congregation grounds, transit routes and temporary structures are transformed into places of prayer during the annual gathering.

Antarctica and the Arctic are experiencing rapid and parallel change, clearly revealing the impacts of global climate change. Scientific data show increasing ice loss, retreating sea ice, and large ice masses breaking into the ocean. In Antarctica, human-driven pollution such as plastic waste from shipping and tourism has reached even the most remote coastlines, entering the food chain and threatening fragile ecosystems. The spread of avian influenza has added biological pressure, particularly on penguin populations. In the Arctic, rising temperatures reduce sea ice, altering polar bear habitats and hunting behavior. These changes affect not only wildlife but also global systems, including ocean circulation and sea level rise. The presence of pollution and disease in both polar regions confirms a simple reality: Earth is our only home, and there is no Plan B.

Members of the 9th National Antarctic Scientific Expedition observe Gentoo penguins resting on icebergs along a sea route from King George Island through the Lemaire Channel, Penola Strait and Grandidier Channel, near Dismal Island in the Southern Ocean. As rising temperatures accelerate ice loss, the habitats these penguins depend on are increasingly under threat.

The idea for this photo series came to me from the image of the "Miracle Tree" in Soto de Viñuelas (Madrid). The real explanation isn't "so miraculous": this tree is the only one in the area that provides shade for the cattle, and the cows often take refuge there. In doing so, they eat the vegetation and trample the ground, leaving the soil bare of grass. This natural clearing of the soil acted as a firebreak, preventing the flames from reaching the tree and saving both the cows and the small patch of green space around it, while the surrounding area burned. It is a symbol of hope after the tragedy of the fire that devastated Tres Cantos on August 11, 2025, but it also serves to raise awareness about the importance of grazing and forest management to prevent such destructive wildfires. In Sanskrit, Bhavacakra means "Wheel of Existence" or "Wheel of Life." It is composed of bhava, which refers to "becoming," "existence," or "birth," and cakra, which means "wheel" or "circle."

It is a symbolic representation of saṃsāra, the cycle of birth, death, and rebirth from which beings seek liberation in Buddhism. For Nietzsche, the Apollonian and the Dionysian are two fundamental artistic and vital impulses that represent the duality of life: the Apollonian is the principle of individuality, order, reason, clarity, and beauty, while the Dionysian is chaos, passion, intoxication, primordial unity, and the dissolution of the self into nature, allowing life and art to be affirmed despite their horror.

Since 2014, the territory of the Lugansk People’s Republic has remained a zone of an armed conflict, with shelling continuing at varying levels of intensity. In early 2022, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced the recognition of the Lugansk and Donetsk people’s republics as independent states. On February 24, the conflict entered a new and more active phase. Forces of the Lugansk People’s Republic, supported by the Russian military, launched an offensive into territories controlled by the Kiev authorities. From September 23 to 27, a referendum on joining the Russian Federation was held in the Lugansk People’s Republic. On September 30, President Putin announced the republic’s accession to Russia.
