Flower Pots

Mathare Valley Slum (Nairobi). Most of the people living here inside corrugated-tin shacks, pay rent without receiving urban services as sewage or waste collection while gangs control the few available ones; 60% of the population of this city of more than 3 millions lives in slums and these villages don't appear on the maps. Mathare is already 64 years old
with families renting here since three generations...

Now we go into
The vulnerable realm of an impossible privacy
Constantly threatened and modified
By all that’s happening outside

Rooms as decorated trenches
Of a never-ending battle;
9 square metres where to try
A claustrophobic but worthy independence
Where to keep dignity at low cost

Now focus in the flowerpots;
The picture is a transparent flowerpot
Allowing you to check every corner of these rooms;
Look again:
The dwellers are the flowers.
