Rijaa’s winning picture captured the place where she spent most of her time during the pandemic lockdown. She used to sit there till sunrise to sunset, where she learned to appreciate every little thing in life and made friends with the birds. She finds this time as a blessing as it helped her in focusing on her own and discovering herself. She found her path of life in these ordinary moments and portrayed that beautiful real-world moment in her picture.
