EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Umit Bektas, Muslim pilgrims are seen embarking on a significant ritual during the annual haj pilgrimage in Mina, Saudi Arabia. The image showcases a vast crowd of devout worshippers walking towards a symbolic pillar representing the stoning of Satan. As they cast their stones with unwavering faith and devotion, one cannot help but be moved by the profound sense of spirituality that permeates the scene. The aerial view offers a unique perspective, allowing us to witness the magnitude of this religious gathering. Despite being unrecognizable as individuals within the crowd, their collective presence creates an awe-inspiring sight. The composition cleverly utilizes creative angles and copy space to emphasize both the traditional nature of this practice and its contemporary relevance. This powerful visual encapsulates not only an integral part of Islamic tradition but also highlights unity among people from diverse backgrounds who have come together for a shared purpose. It serves as a reminder that religion can bridge gaps and bring communities closer despite differences in culture or nationality. Umit Bektas masterfully captures the essence of worship during Hajj – an experience that holds immense significance for millions around the world. Through his lens, we are transported into this sacred moment where individual acts merge into something much greater: an expression of deep-rooted faith and devotion transcending borders and boundaries.
