Eyob Kebede

a market stall district in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia

Eyob Kebede lives in a small, bustling area of Mercato, Addis Ababa, just above the spice stalls that sell vibrant and aromatic blends. As the voice of the bus terminal, Eyob spends hours projecting the chaos and order of departing buses, while observing the subtle stories and emotions carried by passengers. Dedicated to self-sustenance, he grows his own food on a rooftop garden, intertwining a traditional connection with the land amidst modern urban life.
