Photography: The boy and the door

CAIRO - 11 July 2017: There, where the Nile takes its journey to making Egypt a great heaven, a baby boy has newly seen the light; with shyness soaking him up, he tightly hugged the thing he knew best in this world.

The door of his home which looks as old as time, merging life's two edges in a brilliant shot; the old that tells the ancient tales with the new that promises the culture will be kept alive, learned and nourished behind this closed door.

A photo taken in upper Egypt, within the project “Humans of Upper Egypt” by the talented and internationally recognized photographer Mohamed Hawary, resembling how deep he went through this culture; capturing a truly heartwarming moment.
