In 2011 and 2012 I traveled to Egypt, Tunisia and Morocco. I wanted to experience the events first hand. However once there I fell in love with images that I unsuspectingly saw floating between the layers of reality. This world of color was to me as intoxicating and captivating as it was woeful and tragic. The revolution bought new roles and new identities for different people. People and landscapes took on new meanings and a new preponderancy in the eyes of the world. Every gathering, every emptiness and every face, every gesture however innocent carried with it the scars of the revolution.
