Sight
Photo series, Cairo, 2012

From dimness to total darkness, they live. This is the reality for some individuals of varying ages who partially or completely lost their sight—a precious sense—during the Egyptian uprising of 2011. In this photo series, they have chosen to be photographed alongside a loved one, deciding on their preferred position and corner within their home.

During the uprising, there were approximately a thousand cases of eye injuries.
