Ahmed Ben Rafik
a date palm oasis in southern Tunisia
Ahmed Ben Rafik has spent his life in a remote oasis, maintaining elevators with the same meticulous care he applies to his family's palm grove. Rising before dawn every day, he services elevators in town, always bothered by the small changes in handwriting he notices when people grow weary or rushed. In his garage, a hand-built coffin is a constant reminder of life's fleeting nature, but Ahmed's real worry is the younger generation's carelessness in tampering with the land and craft he's tended so fervently.
