EDITORS COMMENTS
In this powerful image captured by Muhammad Hamed, a woman lights candles during a candlelight vigil held in Amman, Jordan. The solemn ceremony is an act of solidarity with the Jordanian soldiers who tragically lost their lives in an attack on a border military post near a camp for Syrian refugees. The photograph showcases the unity and resilience of the community as they come together to honor and remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice. The close-up shot focuses on the woman's hand delicately holding a lit candle, symbolizing hope and faith amidst darkness. The flame dances gracefully, casting its warm glow against her face, creating a mesmerizing play of light and shadows. The depth of field adds depth and intensity to the scene while intentionally blurring out any recognizable features, emphasizing that it is not about individual identities but rather collective grief and support. This poignant moment captures both religious devotion and human compassion. It serves as a reminder that even in times of tragedy, people can find solace through shared rituals like lighting candles - offering prayers for peace, healing, and strength. Muhammad Hamed's evocative composition beautifully encapsulates the spirit of this candlelight vigil – an emotional tribute to fallen heroes that transcends borders and unites hearts in sorrowful yet hopeful harmony.
