Her photographs offer a personal narrative, including one of a pyramid's shadow, contrasting the conventional focus of Egyptology. The display also includes payment records, challenging the narrative of slave labor in pyramid construction. This dual exploration of art and history encourages a broader understanding of Egypt's cultural legacy.
