A river of Joy to a sea of Happiness, a love story of living spirits.

I followed a stranger, a mother and her child, chasing through the alleys of love. With distance, I observed how the woman hit a door buckle in a melody as if it was a secret knock, to assure the person on the other side, that it is her who just arrived. As I waited with the mother, the door opened and three kids and two older women stepped out and greeted her and the baby with kisses and hugs. The sense of warmth and love raised and then they all disappeared behind that black metal door. All the sudden it was quiet again….

Out of waste, those two boys created joy in the alleys of Medina. I did get lost in the alleys and sometimes I got scared, when it became dark and quiet, but when I came across those children, I felt very peaceful inside of me. It calmed me down and watching them playing, without a clue of the rules, gave me a great impression of the Lifestyle the families living there. So many different looking Doors, windows, walls and hundreds of different smells, seem to make a fairy tale happen. Each alley seemed to tell a unique story.

I wanted to capture the lifestyle of the people who lived in a labyrinth, who had no reason to look up the time; everybody was welcoming, friendly and curious and so was I. It is their home I visited; I never had to enter a door and automatically was everybody’s guest and friend.
