Adri Ou, The Caretakers (TRAVEL 2024)

Amongst the tourists swarming the temples of Egypt are caretakers, always watching. Some clean, others observe, while others still will provide photo-taking services or alleged special "views" in exchange for baksheesh. Integral to the everyday maintenance of these historic structures, they discreetly blend into the background, as if they too have been there for aeons, along with the stones.
