Khaled Mansour
a refugee settlement outside Amman, Jordan
Khaled Mansour, once a mechanic in Amman, now runs a solitary spinning wheel outside a refugee settlement. His life revolves around meticulous maintenance and an understanding of metal fatigue born from years of experience. By day, he meticulously tends to the ride with the intuition of someone whose livelihood depends on it; by night, he composes music tuned to the subtle symphony of rotating metal and the whispering desert wind.
