EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo captured by Khalil Ashawi, we witness a significant moment during the holy month of Ramadan in Idlib, Syria. The image depicts a bustling bakery where bread is being baked just before iftar, the time when Muslims break their fast. As the sun sets and anticipation fills the air, this scene symbolizes not only sustenance but also unity and devotion. The composition beautifully captures the essence of community as people gather around to collect freshly baked bread for their evening meal. Their faces reflect both weariness from fasting throughout the day and excitement for nourishment that awaits them. The aroma of warm bread permeates through every corner, creating an atmosphere filled with hope and gratitude. This photograph serves as a powerful reminder of how food plays an integral role in religious observances. It showcases the dedication and resilience of individuals who continue to uphold traditions despite challenging circumstances. Moreover, it sheds light on the importance placed on breaking fast together as a community—a time for reflection, prayer, and strengthening bonds. Khalil Ashawi's lens has managed to capture not just an ordinary moment but rather a snapshot that encapsulates faith, perseverance, and communal spirit amidst adversity. Through his skillful photography, he transports us into this sacred space where bread becomes more than mere sustenance—it becomes a symbol of unity and shared humanity during one of Islam's most cherished times: Ramadan in Idlib.
