EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Ammar Awad, Palestinians are seen standing next to a collapsed part of the Israeli barrier near the refugee camp of Shuafat in East Jerusalem. The image was taken on April 26,2018, following heavy weather that caused this section of the blockade to crumble. The photograph beautifully portrays an evening scene with an urban city in the background and a river flowing nearby. Despite the darkness surrounding them, these individuals stand together as a group against this unusual backdrop. The creative use of lighting highlights their presence amidst nature's elements. This powerful image symbolizes both resilience and division. The fallen wall represents a temporary breach in what has been a longstanding barricade separating communities. It serves as a reminder that even structures meant to divide can be weakened by external forces. The inclusion of a lone tree adds an air of mystery to the composition, further emphasizing how nature intertwines with human-made barriers. With ample copy space available, viewers are encouraged to reflect upon the significance and implications behind such physical divisions within our urban landscapes. Ammar Awad's thought-provoking photograph captures not only an extraordinary moment but also invites us to contemplate deeper questions about humanity's relationship with boundaries and our innate desire for connection beyond them.
