EDITORS COMMENTS
In this powerful image captured by photographer Laszlo Balogh, we see the hand of a migrant touching a bus window at the Croatia-Slovenia border crossing in Bregana. The photograph was taken on September 20,2015, during a time when Europe was grappling with an unprecedented influx of migrants seeking refuge. The close-up shot focuses on the migrant's hand pressed against the glass, revealing only their skin and nails. The individual remains unrecognizable, emphasizing their anonymity and highlighting the universal struggle faced by countless migrants around the world. The blue hue of the urban cityscape visible through the window adds to the sense of isolation and longing for a better life beyond these borders. The hand gesture itself conveys both desperation and hope as it reaches out towards an uncertain future. This image serves as a poignant reminder of the obstacles faced by those who embark on perilous journeys in search of safety and opportunity. It captures not only one person's story but also represents millions who have been forced to leave their homes due to conflict or economic hardship. Balogh's creative use of composition draws attention to this single body part while leaving ample copy space for viewers to reflect upon their own perceptions about migration and its impact on individuals and societies alike.
