Samir Al-Karim
a refugee settlement outside Amman, Jordan
Samir is a 27-year-old toll booth operator living in a refugee settlement near Amman, Jordan. Every day, he diligently tracks his sobriety with short lines etched on a concrete wall in his small apartment, a testament to his quiet resilience and commitment to his family's future. His life is a delicate balance, maintained through a steady job collecting fares, letting the mechanical rhythms of the highway and the vibrating floors of his neighbor's apartment seep into his consciousness, becoming the core of his musical creations.
