EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Mohamed Al-Sayaghi, we are transported to the enchanting old market in the historic city of Sanaa, Yemen. The image showcases a pensive woman immersed in her shopping experience amidst a vibrant and bustling atmosphere. Dressed in an unrecognizable burqa, the woman stands at a vendor's stand adorned with an array of colorful fruits and vegetables. Her side view reveals a glimpse of her faith as she carefully selects items from the blue vase and clay plate crockery on display. With copy space surrounding her, it is evident that she has plenty of choices available to satisfy her culinary needs. The market itself exudes an air of authenticity and tradition, with its ancient architecture serving as a backdrop for this daily ritual. As customers go about their business, one cannot help but appreciate the creative use of nature's bounty showcased through various food items. This photograph not only captures the essence of everyday life but also provides insight into Yemeni culture and religion. It serves as a reminder that despite external challenges or weather conditions, people continue to embrace their traditions while adapting to modern times. Mohamed Al-Sayaghi's skillful composition allows us to witness this moment frozen in time – where commerce meets spirituality against the backdrop of history-rich Sanaa.
