EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Alaa Al-Marjani, we are transported to the holy Shiite city of Najaf in Iraq. The image portrays a powerful scene as a man gracefully rides atop his majestic horse through the bustling streets of this sacred place. The vibrant atmosphere is palpable, with the hustle and bustle of daily life serving as a backdrop to this timeless moment. As the rider confidently guides his steed forward, one can almost feel the connection between man and beast, their partnership symbolizing strength and unity. Najaf holds immense significance for Shiite Muslims worldwide, being home to some of their most revered religious sites. Against this historical backdrop, our attention is drawn not only to the rider but also to the architectural wonders that surround him – ancient buildings adorned with intricate details that stand as testaments to centuries-old traditions. Alaa Al-Marjani's masterful composition captures both movement and stillness simultaneously. Through his lens, he invites us into an intimate glimpse of everyday life in Najaf while also reminding us of its profound spiritual essence. This photograph serves as a reminder that even amidst chaos or change, there are moments where tradition and faith endure. It encapsulates both reverence for history and hope for what lies ahead - an evocative tribute to a city steeped in religious devotion and cultural heritage.
