In this week’s image taken in October 2023 in war torn Gaza, a woman holds a girl clad in bright red and yellow clothing against the grey backdrop of destruction in the wake of Israeli air strikes. Palestinians faced intense bombardment following Hamas’ unprecedented attack on Israel. The photographer, Ali Jadallah, has lost four relatives in the conflict.

This week’s image has strong political overtones however I am not looking for commentary or opinion on the war in Gaza. I provided background for the image as I believed it the right thing to do in light of the photographers personal loss. However, this blog is a creative space and the image is meant to spur imagination and creativity. There are many jumping off points for the image including a post apocalyptic tale of survival, planetary upheaval half way across the galaxy, or whatever you want your story to be. The ultimate goal is to inspire writers to craft a piece of fiction.

Note: Any extreme political views or hate propaganda appearing in the comment section will be removed.
