EDITORS COMMENTS
This close-up print captures the intricate beauty of pieces of molded clay known as turba, made from local soil in Najaf, Iraq. Taken on April 3,2018, by Alaa Al-Marjani for Reuters Images, this image showcases the artistry and creativity involved in traditional clay craftsmanship. The photograph reveals a multitude of handcrafted clay pieces with remarkable detail. Each piece is unique and carries its own story within its carefully sculpted form. The old-fashioned aesthetic adds a touch of nostalgia to the scene, reminding us of the rich cultural heritage preserved through traditional art forms. The use of plastic materials is absent here; instead, it's all about embracing natural resources like soil to create these stunning works. The writing visible on some pieces hints at their purpose or significance within local traditions. With no people present in the frame, we are left to appreciate these masterpieces solely for their artistic value. The composition offers ample copy space around the clay pieces, allowing viewers to focus solely on their intricate designs and textures. This photograph serves as a testament to human ingenuity and resourcefulness when it comes to transforming humble earth into captivating artwork
