In the Shadow of the Pyramids 2.0

Sale Price: £88.00 Original Price: £110.00

Ten years after the spark of the Tahrir Square protests, I returned to the photographs that shaped In the Shadow of the Pyramids. What emerged was a newly reimagined edition, a meditation on memory, resistance and the quiet erosion of time.

It rose from a deep sense of responsibility: to honour the act of witnessing, to hold space for a defining chapter in modern Egyptian history and to preserve a memory that continues to shift in our national and emotional landscape.

Offered this season as part of a quiet gesture from my studio: a moment to reflect, to honour and to carry forward the stories that shaped me and my practice.

About the Book

In the Shadow of the Pyramids traces a decade of living, remembering and witnessing a transformative chapter in modern Egyptian history. Photographed between 2005 and 2014, the work moves between the personal and the political, weaving intimate moments of family life with the unfolding events of the 2011 revolution. The images hold the tenderness of home alongside the urgency of public upheaval, revealing how the emotional and historical collide in one’s understanding of belonging.

The 10-Year Anniversary Edition

A decade after the Tahrir Square revolution, this anniversary edition returns to the original photographs with a completely redesigned interior. A new visual rhythm shaped by time, distance and reflection. While the physical form and materials honour the first edition, the internal sequencing has been transformed to echo the shifting narrative and emotional weight the revolution now carries. This edition stands as a renewed meditation on memory, change and the act of bearing witness.
