EDITORS COMMENTS
In this powerful image captured by Cathal McNaughton, the aftermath of a goat slaughter during Eid al-Adha in Delhi, India is vividly portrayed. The butcher's foot, covered in a mixture of hair and blood, tells a story of sacrifice and tradition deeply rooted in this cultural celebration. The photograph offers an unrecognizable view from above, allowing us to witness the creative use of tracks left behind on the dirty floor. The slipper worn by the butcher adds an intimate touch to this otherwise gritty scene. It serves as a reminder that even amidst fear and stress within the abattoir walls, people continue to carry out their duties with dedication. The juxtaposition between the delicate hairs clinging onto the foot and the gruesome stains of blood creates both intrigue and discomfort for viewers. This image provides insight into an often unseen aspect of our food production process while highlighting its raw nature. As we contemplate this photo print, we are reminded that traditions like Eid al-Adha hold immense significance for communities around the world. They serve as reminders of shared values and beliefs passed down through generations. Cathal McNaughton's lens captures not only a moment frozen in time but also invites us to reflect on our own relationship with food production systems. Through his lens, he brings forth stories that might otherwise go unnoticed or forgotten - reminding us all about humanity's connection to animals and each other.
