HONORED WORK: “The Other Side of War”
Farah Nosh’s project, “The Other Side of War,” presents a rare and intimate glimpse into the private life of an Iraqi family in Baghdad. In startling contrast to the typical media portrayal of Iraqis as either victims or combatants, Nosh presents her subjects as ordinary people, in moments of shelter from the war raging outside the walls of their home. The judges found her work to be extraordinary, not only for the unique perspective she brings to the subject, but for the poignancy and eloquence of her visual language.
