EDITORS COMMENTS
In this powerful image captured by Danish Siddiqui, an old Rohingya refugee woman is being carried down a hill after crossing the Bangladesh-Myanmar border in Coxs Bazar. The photograph depicts the immense struggle and hardship faced by these displaced individuals as they seek safety and refuge. The woman, whose face remains unrecognizable, is seen wearing a traditional hat and wrapped in fabric that shields her from the elements. Her frail body is supported by compassionate hands, symbolizing both physical assistance and emotional support during this arduous journey. The composition of the photo highlights the contrast between the woman's silhouette against the backdrop of nature. With depth of field techniques employed, we see her figure out of focus while still conveying a sense of resilience amidst challenging circumstances. This poignant image serves as a reminder of the ongoing humanitarian crisis affecting Rohingya refugees who have fled violence and persecution in Myanmar. It captures not only their desperate attempts to escape but also their determination to survive against all odds. Danish Siddiqui's skillful use of light and shadow adds further depth to this evocative portrayal. Through his lens, he sheds light on one individual's story among countless others who continue to endure unimaginable hardships in search for safety and hope.
