EDITORS COMMENTS
In this powerful and thought-provoking image captured by Mohammed Salem, a Palestinian woman takes center stage as she carries a tray filled with stones on her head during a protest marking al-Quds Day. The photograph was taken at the Israel-Gaza border east of Gaza City on June 8,2018. The close-up shot highlights the determination and resilience of this unrecognizable woman amidst a crowd of protesters. Her silhouette against the urban cityscape creates an impactful contrast, symbolizing the struggle faced by Palestinians in their fight for justice and freedom. Wearing traditional clothes, she stands out as a representation of her people's indistinct yet unified voice demanding change. The depth of field blurs the background, emphasizing her presence while also alluding to the blurred lines between hope and despair in this conflict-ridden environment. The creative use of carrying stones on her head not only showcases physical strength but also serves as a poignant metaphor for resistance against oppression. Each stone represents both defiance and solidarity among those who have been marginalized. Through Salem's lens, we are reminded that even in moments where hope seems out of focus, there are individuals like this courageous Palestinian woman who continue to stand tall despite adversity. This photograph captures an important chapter in history – one that demands our attention and empathy towards real people fighting for their rights.
