EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Philippe Lissac from Universal Images Group (UIG), we are transported to the serene surroundings of Melani tekke in Albania. Under the shade of a majestic tree, a 22-year old dervish named Myrteza Shehu engrosses himself in deep contemplation and spiritual connection. With closed eyes and hands gently resting on an open book, it is evident that prayer and devotion consume his thoughts. The image beautifully portrays the essence of faith as he immerses himself in Islamic teachings, seeking solace and guidance within the pages before him. The peaceful ambiance surrounding Myrteza exudes tranquility, inviting us to reflect upon our own spirituality. As rays of sunlight filter through the leaves above, they seem to bless this young man's quest for enlightenment. This photograph not only captures a moment frozen in time but also serves as a poignant reminder of humanity's innate desire for connection with something greater than ourselves. It symbolizes the universal pursuit of understanding one's place within religion and finding meaning amidst life's complexities. Through this powerful visual narrative, Lissac invites viewers to embark on their own introspective journey while appreciating the beauty found in religious practices across Europe. This mesmerizing portrayal encapsulates both the individuality and universality inherent within faith - reminding us that spirituality knows no boundaries or limitations.
