EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the essence of life in the ancient desert town of Nefta, Tunisia during the 1980s. The image shows an Arab man dressed in traditional clothing, his face shielded from the dusty, sandy conditions by a wide-brimmed hat. He leads his mule cart through an archway, the entrance to the old city, its intricate stonework softened by the passage of time. The cart, laden with goods, is pulled by a strong and steadfast mule, its ears pricked forward as it navigates the narrow, dusty street. The scene is one of quiet determination, as the man goes about his daily business in this North African oasis town. Nefta, located in the heart of the Sahara Desert, has a rich history dating back to the Roman Empire, and its ancient architecture, palm groves, and hot springs have long attracted travelers and settlers. This photograph, taken in 1987, offers a glimpse into a bygone era, a time when life was simpler, and the rhythms of the desert shaped the daily lives of its people.
