EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Darrin Zammit Lupi, we are transported into the intimate setting of a woman's home in Valletta, Malta. The image showcases a close-up shot of her hands delicately polishing silver cutlery. The unrecognizable woman is seen wearing safety gloves as she meticulously tends to each piece with care and precision. The vintage silver cutlery glistens under the expert touch of the woman's hand, highlighting its sentimental value and traditional significance. This creative use of body parts emphasizes the importance placed on preserving these precious objects that hold memories and stories within their intricate designs. The depth of field in the photograph draws our attention solely to the polished spoon and fork held by the woman's hand, creating a sense of focus and admiration for these timeless artifacts. The composition also allows for ample copy space around the main subject, inviting viewers to reflect on their own experiences with cherished heirlooms or souvenirs. Through this visually striking image, Lupi captures not only an everyday act but also encapsulates a deeper appreciation for craftsmanship, heritage, and personal connections to treasured possessions. It serves as a reminder that even in our modern world, there is still room for traditional practices that bring us closer to our pasts while adding beauty to our present moments.
