EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by Crispin Hughes, we are transported to ERITREA's Asmara Deda camp, a place that became a refuge for people displaced by the devastating war with Ethiopia. The image captures an intimate moment of everyday life as a woman skillfully cooks injera, a traditional sour flatbread that accompanies almost every meal in Eritrea. The scene is filled with warmth and resilience as the woman expertly pours the batter onto a large circular griddle. The aroma of freshly baked bread fills the air, evoking memories of home and comfort amidst challenging circumstances. It is through these small acts of sustenance and nourishment that hope perseveres even in times of adversity. This photograph not only showcases the culinary traditions deeply rooted in Eritrean culture but also sheds light on the strength and determination of those who have been forced to leave their homes behind. It serves as a powerful reminder that food transcends borders and brings people together, offering solace and familiarity in unfamiliar surroundings. Crispin Hughes' lens beautifully captures both the simplicity and complexity inherent in this scene – from the delicate movements of the woman's hands to her focused expression. Through his artistry, we are invited into this world where food becomes more than just sustenance; it becomes an emblematic symbol of resilience, community, and cultural identity within ERITREA's Asmara Deda camp.
