EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Marko Djurica, an ultra-Orthodox Jewish man is seen deep in prayer in front of the Western Wall, Judaism's holiest prayer site located in Jerusalem's Old City. The image beautifully portrays the serene and tranquil atmosphere surrounding this religious ceremony. Jerusalem's Old City holds immense significance for three major monotheistic religions - Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. For Jews, it represents ancient Israel; for Christians, it is where Christ spent his last days; and for Muslims, it marks the place where Prophet Mohammad ascended to heaven. The photograph showcases a worshipper from a low angle view against the backdrop of an empty landscape. The unrecognizable figure adds to the mysterious aura while emphasizing the scale of devotion exhibited at this historic site. The creative use of lighting highlights both the architectural beauty of the Western Wall and its integration with nature. The image evokes a sense of awe as one contemplates not only on religion but also on humanity's shared connection through spirituality. It serves as a reminder that despite our differences, we can find common ground in places like these - places that hold profound meaning for people across various faiths. Marko Djurica has skillfully captured both the physical grandeur and spiritual essence within this single frame. This photograph stands as a testament to the power of faith and its ability to unite individuals from diverse backgrounds under one roof – or rather one wall – symbolizing peace amidst diversity.
