That space is tagged “post thumbnail blog image”, so I guess it’s there to display a featured image, but doesn’t test first to see if there is one. You can remove it with this CSS
.post-thumbnail.blog-item-img {
display: none;
}
but that will cause problems if there *is* a featured image. That should be taken care of by the theme. I recommend asking at https://projectdmc.org/support/theme/industri#new-post so the plugin’s / theme’s developers and support community can help you with this.
