About The Artwork
Kabul, April 2002. In this portrait, the resilient spirit and tenderness of an Afghan mother are evident as she cradles her 40-day-old baby, concealed beneath the protective layers of her burqa. The protective embrace symbolizes a timeless gesture of maternal love, while the veil adds an element of cultural context, highlighting the daily life intricacies in Kabul. The mother's gaze reflects a mixture of hope and determination as she awaits the vital moment of getting her newborn vaccinated against polio. The subtle vulnerability beneath the burqa is juxtaposed with the strength emanating from her maternal role, creating a powerful visual narrative. This image captures the intersection of motherhood, cultural traditions, and the unwavering commitment to securing a healthy future for the next generation. It serves as a poignant reminder of the universal language of love that transcends borders and cultural differences.

Greece
Award-winning photographer Yannis Kontos is no stranger to unusual situations. From the everyday life of an amputee in Sierra Leone to warzones around the world, to the streets of Pyongyang, North Korea, Kontos’s lens has captured unadorned but with respect a set of realities unknown to global audiences. His work has been featured in many well-respected publications like Life magazine or the cover of Time magazine. Social issues and the human factor are always center stage in the World Press Photo winner’s 30 year-long career in documentary work, but for his landscape art, it seems that he takes quite a different approach. Currently, Yannis Kontos is an Assistant Professor of Visual Studies and Creative Industries at the College of Humanities and Social Sciences of United Arab Emirates University. He holds a PhD degree in Documentary Photography from the University of Wales (UK) and a Master of Arts degree in Photographic Journalism from the University of Westminster (UK).
