Ebb & Flow


 


‘Ebb & Flow’ presents itself both as an ode and a farewell to my hometown, Cairo. Having been born and bred in the midst of its loudness, silence was taught as an act of discipline and obedience. The latter seem to define the qualities of a woman, and any other would be considered rebellious.
Femininity became a word on the tip of my tongue, as I grappled with the concept constantly. I started documenting this inner struggle through my friends, and together we created a space that I define as ‘sisterhood’.
