Old Cairo, Egypt
‘This photo is from the famous “Street of the Tentmakers” in historic Cairo, one of the few places where the ancient art of appliqué (khayamiya) still survives.

His focused concentration and weathered hands tell the story of a lifetime dedicated to preserving a cultural heritage.’
