Avec des fleurs en échange de quelques pièces, ces enfants vendent un peu de leur enfance pour survivre. L'innocence persiste, visible dans les chaussons en peluche de l’une d'elles, rappel tendre d’une jeunesse que le travail tente d’effacer. Une image douce-amère, empreinte de résilience.

Born in 1991 in Lyon to an Assyro-Chaldean refugee family from Iraq, I grew up surrounded by diversity. Curious and creative, I studied architecture, refining my aesthetic eye. Photography naturally became a passion with the rise of social media. I focus on human scenes and everyday interactions, capturing the hidden beauty in ordinary moments. My travels have enriched my work, creating connections across cultures. Through my lens, I celebrate the universality of the human experience.
