EDITORS COMMENTS
In this poignant print captured by Raneen Sawafta, a weary donkey finds solace against a cold concrete barrier adorned with a sign warning of Israeli gunfire. The image transports us to the Bedouin village of Al-Maleh in the Jordan valley, situated within the Israeli-occupied West Bank. It is here that we witness the quiet resilience of an animal amidst an atmosphere charged with danger and uncertainty. The donkey's tired eyes reflect its weariness, as it leans against the solid structure for support. Its grassy surroundings offer a stark contrast to the harsh reality symbolized by the concrete barrier and ominous sign nearby. This juxtaposition serves as a reminder of both nature's tranquility and humanity's capacity for conflict. Sawafta skillfully captures depth of field in this composition, drawing our attention to every detail - from the donkey's worn harness and saddle to its sturdy hooves firmly planted on uneven stone ground. The absence of people allows us to focus solely on this humble creature seeking respite. This photograph speaks volumes about life in these contested lands; where even animals bear witness to political strife and violence. Through her lens, Sawafta invites us into this complex narrative, urging us to contemplate not only the plight of those living under occupation but also our own role in shaping their future.
