EDITORS COMMENTS
This breathtaking print captures the stunning landscape near Jericho in the occupied West Bank, where salt extracted from the Dead Sea is showcased against a backdrop of clear blue skies. The image, taken by photographer Mohamad Torokman on January 31,2018, beautifully portrays nature's beauty and its harmonious coexistence with human industry. In this picture-perfect scene, we see vast open spaces filled with piles of salt extracted from the renowned Dead Sea. The contrast between the white salt crystals and the deep blue sky creates a visually striking composition that highlights both natural and man-made elements. The absence of people in this photograph allows us to focus solely on the serene environment surrounding these mounds of salt. It evokes a sense of tranquility as we appreciate nature's wonders without any distractions. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, this image also sheds light on an important aspect of food processing and industry. Salt extraction from the Dead Sea has been a significant economic activity in this region for centuries. This photo serves as a reminder of how industries can thrive while maintaining harmony with their surroundings. Overall, Torokman's skillful capture showcases not only the picturesque scenery but also invites contemplation about our relationship with nature and how it sustains various aspects of our lives – be it through seasoning our food or providing raw materials for businesses.
