How does he live, not seeing me
How do I live, not seeing him addresses gender dynamics, socially established expressions of endearment and constructions around body and behavior.

In attempt to explore and understand the shifts in permissible behavior and bodily expressions within Egyptian society, she portrays a sincere scene from a different era.
