EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Alaa al-Marjani, we are transported to the holy Shiite city of Najaf in Iraq, where a group of Iraqi children engage in an invigorating exercise session under the guidance of their coach. The image beautifully encapsulates the spirit and resilience of these young individuals as they push themselves physically and mentally amidst the historical backdrop of Najaf. The vibrant energy radiates from each child's determined expression, highlighting their unwavering dedication towards self-improvement and personal growth. As they stretch and flex their muscles, it is evident that these youngsters possess an indomitable spirit that transcends any challenges they may face. Najaf, renowned for its religious significance within Shia Islam, adds another layer of depth to this photograph. The juxtaposition between physical exertion and spiritual devotion creates a powerful narrative about the holistic nature of human existence – how mind, body, and soul intertwine to create a harmonious balance. Alaa al-Marjani's expert composition captures not only the essence of athletic training but also serves as a reminder that even within sacred spaces like Najaf, life continues with all its joys and aspirations. Through this single frame frozen in time on August 26th, 2019, we witness the timeless pursuit for excellence among Iraqi children who inspire us with their determination to thrive despite adversity.
