Looking over Bibi-Eybat by Fidan Nazim Qizi

Captured from a vantage point overlooking the municipality of Bibi-Eybat in Baku, Azerbaijan, this photograph documents a landscape in transition. The image highlights the area's recent urban evolution, where the expansion of the Bibiheybat Motorway and the reconstruction of the historic mosque prompted the development of modern housing, a stadium, and community facilities. The photographer’s choice to frame this expansive view emphasizes the intersection of traditional heritage and contemporary infrastructure. This work is award-worthy for its clear, documentary approach, effectively balancing the scale of the architectural changes with the surrounding topography to tell a compelling story of regional growth.
