A Diary of a Life

Wandering through the bustling streets of Cairo, you’ll often catch a glimpse into intimate moments nestled between an animated tapestry. A conversation between neighbours on a sunlit corner; a group of old friends sipping coffee over a game of backgammon. You’ll find yourself consumed by intersections steeped with quiet moments amidst the chaos—where maximalism and minimalism coexist.

Discover classic textures paired with modern silhouettes in a choreography of contrasts, inspired by the life and archives of Hamed Abdalla—a luminary of Egyptian modernism.
