The Story in Their Eyes

And the sound we make together
Is the music to the story in your eyes
It’s been shining down upon me now, I realize

–Moody Blues, “The Story in Your Eyes”

They say children’s eyes never lie. The eyes of children can tell stories hidden in the depths of their minds. Fadi A. Thabet, a Palestinian photographer from Gaza, walked down the streets of Gaza and discovered that beautiful innocent children, who have survived the brutality of humanity, can tell deep and sincere stories with their eyes. He decided to capture these stories with his camera. Take a look at what stories he found in their captivating eyes:

IN SOME, THERE WERE STORIES OF WAR AND DESTRUCTIONS

IN OTHERS, THERE ARE STORIES OF HAPPINESS, HOPE, AND IMAGINATION

Each one of these children’s eyes holds a story that is waiting to be uncovered. The most important message we can leave with after seeing such expressive photos is that there is beauty within destruction. For more of Fadi’s photo’s, visit his Facebook page.
