EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the unique architecture and cultural heritage of the walled city of Shibam in Wadi Hadramaut, south Yemen. The image showcases the backs of tall mud brick houses, revealing a fascinating aspect of daily life - holes in the walls serving as toilets. As an UNESCO World Heritage Site, Shibam stands as a testament to human ingenuity and resilience. Its towering structures resemble sky scrapers that have withstood the test of time, showcasing a blend of contemporary design and traditional techniques. The photograph's composition beautifully juxtaposes the earthy tones of the mud bricks against a clear blue sky, creating a striking visual contrast. It invites viewers to contemplate how people adapt their surroundings to meet basic needs while preserving architectural beauty. Through this lens, we gain insight into Yemen's rich history and its deep-rooted connection with its environment. The image transports us to another era where simplicity meets functionality in perfect harmony. Jack Jackson/Robert Harding skillfully captures not only an architectural marvel but also offers us a glimpse into everyday life within this ancient city. This thought-provoking piece serves as both an invitation for exploration and appreciation for diverse cultures around our world.
