EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Baghdad, Iraq - Hands of Victory" captures the essence of triumph and remembrance in a single frame. The image showcases the iconic Hands of Victory monument in Baghdad, Iraq, which consists of two colossal 24-ton blades. These blades are believed to have been recast from the guns of deceased Iranian soldiers and molded to resemble Saddam Hussein's forearms. The photograph depicts a vibrant street scene with a medium-sized group of people passing by this awe-inspiring structure. The Swords of Qadisiyah memorial stands tall as an archway, symbolizing victory and resilience amidst the backdrop of war-torn Baghdad. In this snapshot, we witness a blend of history and modernity as a military vehicle, specifically a high mobility multipurpose wheeled vehicle (HMMWV), commonly known as Humvee, crosses under the archway. This juxtaposition serves as a reminder that even in times of conflict, life continues to move forward. Terry Moore skillfully captures every detail with his photography expertise. The color image beautifully portrays the curvature and crossed swords within the monument's design while highlighting its significance as both a tribute to fallen soldiers and an emblematic representation of Iraqi strength. This print is not just an artistic masterpiece but also serves as a poignant reminder for all who view it – honoring those who fought bravely during Operation Iraqi Freedom while showcasing Baghdad's resilient spirit amid adversity in the Middle East.
