EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph captured by Baz Ratner, an Israeli boy holds a fist full of gravel as he passionately takes part in a building activity. The image was taken at the West Bank Jewish settlement of Adam on September 1,2010. Settlers claim that this construction is a response to the tragic shooting attack that claimed the lives of four Israelis near Kiryat Arba. The close-up shot focuses on the young boy's hand, revealing his determination and commitment to rebuilding amidst conflict. His unrecognizable face adds an element of anonymity, symbolizing the countless individuals affected by political tensions in this region. The elevated view provides a picturesque backdrop showcasing the separation wall and surrounding environment. The white color of his palm contrasts with the multiple grains of gravel held tightly within it, emphasizing both faith and creativity in overcoming adversity. This detailed composition captures not only one individual but also represents many people who share similar experiences and aspirations for peace. It highlights how religion plays a significant role in their lives while demonstrating their resilience and dedication to constructing a better future. Baz Ratner's expert use of depth-of-field draws attention solely to the handful of gravel, leaving everything else slightly blurred but still recognizable. This technique emphasizes both physical action and symbolic meaning behind it – building hope from fragments amidst chaos.
