Cairoscapes, 2003. Photo series.
Nature is present everywhere in the city; if not literally, then figuratively. The fleeting floral patterns on pedestrians' clothes are in this photo series substitutes for nature in an urban environment, a point of rest in the midst of the harshness of the city. Adopting the panoramic format of cityscapes, Cairoscapes are intimate, subtly ironic, depictions of Cairo, eye-level landscapes focussing on the quotidian and the fragmentary, rather than on the encompassing overview.
