Tsawwar… Yakoop Al-Mozahimis

“I captured this moment on my iPhone in the streets of Sana’a. The expression of the child leaning out of the window—silent, thoughtful, perhaps even lost—spoke to the unspoken emotions many of us carry daily. This black-and-white frame reflects the stillness in the chaos of city life. It’s a subtle story of waiting, wondering, and witnessing.”
