EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by Ammar Awad, we are transported to the vibrant streets of East Jerusalem where Palestinians cherish their beloved horses. The image showcases Palestinian horse trader Fares Salem as he tenderly pets a majestic horse in the neighborhood of A-tur. The close-up shot beautifully captures the bond between man and animal, highlighting the deep connection that exists between them. As Salem's hand gently caresses the horse's head, there is an undeniable sense of trust and mutual understanding. The photograph also offers a glimpse into the unique environment these horses inhabit. With an out-of-focus background, our attention is solely drawn to the magnificent creature before us. Its expressive eye reflects both its strength and vulnerability, while its body exudes grace and power. This image not only celebrates the beauty of these farm animals but also sheds light on a lesser-known aspect of life in East Jerusalem. It reminds us that amidst political tensions and daily struggles, there are moments of tranquility and joy found in simple connections with nature. Ammar Awad's creative use of depth of field adds an artistic touch to this photograph, elevating it beyond a mere documentation of reality. Through his lens, he invites us to appreciate not just what we see but also what lies beneath – capturing emotions that transcend language barriers.
