Representation picture takers for the most part concentrate on the characteristics of subjects, however picture taker Omar Reda needed to recount the account of individuals' lives in an unexpected way: he made nitty gritty photographs of the palms of their hands..

“The hand, like the eyes, reveal what’s hidden below the surface,” the Lebanese photographer writes. “It is essential for our evolution and survival. Early humans used it to ignite a fire, hunt, fight and other survival actions.”

“The hand is the main part that helps us to excel our skills across all the industries since the beginning of time,” Reda continues. “The palm lines in our hands unveil the underlying truth about our lives. They uncover our struggle, burden and life passage that we chose.”

Reda traveled to different countries around the world and photographed the hands of people from many different walks of life — people he met in tribes, villages, and cities.
