EBTI’s book Tafseel is a dedication and documentation of her uncle’s family tailoring shop in Cairo, housed within the same building which multiple generations of her family called home. The photographs were taken on the occasion of her uncle’s death; when returning home for the funeral, she attempted to capture the studio as it was, and would not be for long. Tafseel is a risograph printed booklet, part of National Monument Press’s Dodeca Meters series, printed in turquoise ink, and published in April 2024.

Dodeca Meters is a year-long publishing project by Oakland, CA-based National Monument Press, featuring 12 photography booklets by 12 photographers, each printed in a single color using risograph printing. Dodeca Meters exists to provide an archive of what is possible within the intersection of photography and risograph printing, through accessible multiples.
