Mother

Jury Statement


This photograph is my choice for the top award, as it is by far the most complete work in the contest, achieving an exceptional balance between composition, content, and emotion. Its greatest strength lies in its profound humanity—quiet, intimate, and gripping. The composition is both precise and meaningful: the faces of the mother and baby draw the viewer in, while their hands and legs are tenderly entangled with the other sleeping child. This physical closeness becomes a visual language of care, protection, and belonging, transforming a private moment into a lasting image.
