In this photo captured by Ali Jarekji, we are transported back to the bustling markets of Amman in February 2002. The image showcases a vibrant display of coloured chicks for sale, strategically arranged to attract the attention of children and shoppers alike. As thousands of Jordanian shoppers hurriedly flocked to the markets ahead of the Muslim Eid al-Adha feast, these traders employed an ingenious ploy to entice potential buyers. The vivid hues adorning these adorable chicks create a whimsical spectacle that is hard to resist. Their vibrant feathers seem almost magical against their fluffy bodies, adding an element of enchantment to the scene. It's as if they have been dipped in pots filled with every color imaginable, transforming them into living works of art. This photograph not only captures a moment in time but also serves as a testament to the ingenuity and creativity found within everyday marketplaces around the world. Traders employ various tactics and visual cues to captivate customers' attention amidst crowded spaces. Ali Jarekji's lens perfectly encapsulates both the vibrancy and commercial spirit present during this festive period in Amman. Through his skillful composition, he invites us into this lively atmosphere where tradition meets commerce, creating an unforgettable snapshot that will forever be etched in our memories.
