Ouled El Bahdja

Diploma project / Photography Series / ECAL - 2025

Ouled El Bahdja is an intimate portrait of Algerian youth caught between waiting and the desire to leave. Through fragments of everyday life, quiet afternoons, restrained conversations, suspended moments, the series explores the dreams of emancipation that grow despite uncertain horizons, where Europe lingers in the background as both a projection and a distant mirage.
