EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Ari Jalal, the stained finger of an Iraqi woman takes center stage at a bustling polling station during the parliamentary election in Sulaimaniyah, Iraq. The close-up shot beautifully showcases the intricate details of her jewelry and traditional clothing, providing a glimpse into her cultural heritage. The image serves as a powerful symbol of women's rights and political empowerment as she proudly displays her ink-stained finger, signifying her active participation in shaping the future of her country. Despite the dirt on her hand and the darkness surrounding her, there is an undeniable sense of hope radiating from this photograph. Jalal's creative use of depth-of-field adds another layer to this thought-provoking composition. While the woman's ring remains sharply focused in the foreground, other elements such as people and voting booths are deliberately blurred out of focus. This technique draws attention solely to our subject - a strong-willed individual exercising their democratic right amidst chaotic surroundings. This image encapsulates both resilience and determination; it captures a pivotal moment where individuals come together to make their voices heard through peaceful means. It reminds us that even in challenging times, democracy prevails – shining brightly like ink-stained fingers against darkened backgrounds.
