EDITORS COMMENTS
In this powerful print captured by Alaa Al-Marjani, the haunting silhouette of a displaced old woman is seen in Hassan Sham camp, located east of Mosul, Iraq. The image portrays the harsh reality faced by countless individuals affected by conflict and displacement. The photograph showcases an unrecognizable woman standing alone at the entrance of a doorway. Her figure is engulfed in darkness, with only her shadow visible against the backdrop of sunlight streaming through. Clutching onto a shopping bag, she stands as a symbol of resilience amidst adversity. The creative use of light and shadow adds depth to the composition, emphasizing both hope and despair that coexist within this war-torn region. As we observe her from behind, walking leisurely into uncertainty, we are reminded of the strength exhibited by those who have endured unimaginable hardships. This image serves as a poignant reminder that behind every statistic lies an individual story – one filled with pain, loss, but also unwavering determination. It compels us to reflect on our own lives while igniting empathy for those whose struggles often go unnoticed. Alaa Al-Marjani's photograph captures not just an ordinary moment but also encapsulates the transition between worlds - from darkness to light; from chaos to peace; from displacement to homecoming.
