Moving (2012) Φωτογραφία από Begawi

Egypt may be one of the world’s longest-loved tourist destinations. Countless travelers from the ancient Greeks and Romans to Medieval pilgrims, 19th-century Egyptologists and modern-day Instagrammers have been pulled to this northeastern corner of Africa to see, and learn about, its legendary wonders for themselves. Egypt has more than its fair share of iconic sights: The austere Pyramids at Giza, the colossal temples at Abu Simbel, the beguiling Great Sphinx (one of the oldest statues in the world), and the sand-covered tombs of the Valley of Kings are just a few. But behind those classic and instantly recognizable images are thousands more that tell lesser-known stories about this multi-layered country. Begawi lives and works in Egypt. Flesh tones, on the other hand, refer to the different nuances within the actual color. Within the black, brown, red, yellow or white skin color, there are several subtle combinations, or nuances, that are known as flesh tones. Like the yin and yang philosophy, many colors come together to make one color, and in one color exists many different colors. For example, from a distance we see White complexion, Black complexion, Brown complexion or Red complexion. When we look closer, we start to notice the blues, pinks, yellows, purples and all the subtle nuances ranging from muted to intense mixtures, warm and cool tones. It’s just like looking at a computer image. If you reduce or scale down a picture to a smaller size, the picture will get as fine and detailed as possible. But enlarge it and you will see big squares of pixels.
