Fuheis, Jordan – October 2020

At home in Fuheis, on the outskirts of Amman, Jordan, my mother-in-law “Auntie Rula” paces through the dimly lit rooms. In the living room: a loop around the coffee table, stepping carefully over her husband’s feet while he sits on the couch doing Sudoku. Then on to the dining room, she walks past the dining room table, head down, hands at her sides.

She watches the floor while she walks.
