Tsawwar... Mohamed Osam

“Due to the limited availability of public spaces in Egypt, I often concentrate my street photography on observing how people create makeshift public areas, particularly in rural regions where such spaces are scarce. I'm fascinated by how residents ingeniously transform everyday locations into gathering spots and play areas for their children. It's remarkable to witness the resourcefulness of children, as depicted in both photos, as they carve out their own spaces and continue to enjoy themselves amidst the constraints of their surroundings.”
