EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Mukesh Gupta, we witness a mesmerizing sight on the roads of Jammu, a city in northern India. The image portrays a group of workers reflected on the surface of a bubble formed from melted tar. It is as if they are suspended within this ethereal sphere, their figures distorted and elongated by its curved contours. The photograph was taken on June 30,2006, during what appears to be a scorching summer day. The intense heat has caused the road's black tar to liquefy and form these intriguing bubbles that shimmer under the sun's rays. Amidst this surreal landscape, the workers continue with their daily tasks undeterred. This image serves as a poignant reminder of the resilience and dedication displayed by individuals who work tirelessly despite challenging circumstances. Their reflections symbolize not only their physical presence but also their unwavering commitment to their duties. Gupta's composition skillfully captures both the beauty and harshness found in everyday life. Through his lens, he invites us to contemplate how even mundane scenes can hold unexpected moments of fascination and introspection. This photograph stands as an exquisite testament to human perseverance amidst adversity—a visual narrative that transcends time and place while leaving an indelible impression upon our minds.
