Turkish quake – Madonna posts emotional Greek EMAK with Turkish child photo urging fans to aid victims

The quake has brought Greeks and Turks together on social media

Newsroom February 15 04:53

A digital art image, which went viral in the last few days and shows a fantastic composition of an EMAK rescuer holding a small child in his arms, which he freed from the ruins of the earthquake in Turkey, was uploaded by the pop queen Madonna on her Instagram.

As she emphasises in the message accompanying the photo, along with others that capture the tragedy after the devastating earthquakes in Syria and Turkey, “everyone talks about love on Valentine’s Day! Let’s send all our love and healing energy to Turkey and Syria who suffered great losses and destruction in this massive earthquake.”

The history of the image

With a digital art image, retired Major General of the Fire Brigade Panagiotis Kotridis, former Regional Commander of the Fire Service of the Aegean Sea, wanted to send his own message of support and solidarity to his colleagues who fought to save lives in the regions of Turkey that were hit by the deadly earthquakes.

The image, which captures a fantastic composition according to the creator, has gone viral in recent days on Greek and Turkish social networks, fully reflecting the contribution of EMAK men in the affected areas of Turkey.

“To honour the colleagues who are doing their best to save those affected by the earthquakes in Turkey, I created this photo,” he said in his post, adding: “I’m here for you” in Greek, English, and Turkish. The composition depicts a Greek fireman lovingly holding a small child, whom he freed from the ruins.

As the creator pointed out, this is a composition and not a real photo. Result of Photoshop and Midjourney (artificial intelligence program) mastered by himself.
