A photo of a boy who appears to be sleeping at his parents' grave appears again and again. What many people don't know is that it's a photo project!

At the moment we are receiving a lot of inquiries about this picture here:

Photo project: The photo shows a boy who is apparently sleeping in the sand between his parents' graves
Photo project: The photo shows a boy who is apparently sleeping in the sand between his parents' graves

You can see a child sleeping in the sand between two graves. Many users are unsure whether the photo is fake because it is usually shared or sent without citing the source.

So what are we really seeing here?

Fact check

The picture is already a bit older. It comes from a series of photographs by photographer Abdel Aziz Al-Atibi and the boy pictured is his nephew.

So it's a staged situation!

On the portal “ Beirut.com ” you can find the following statement:


I'm a photographer and I try to talk about the suffering that is happening in society , it's my hobby and my exaggeration is intended to deliver my idea It's my hobby and my exaggeration is intended to clarify my thoughts on it.)

According to his own statement, Abdel Aziz Al-Atibi describes that this photo was intended to address domestic violence, but the photo has also been shared in another context .

It's absurd how people can easily be manipulated without going back to the source and the facts.
(It's absurd how easily people can be manipulated without citing a source or facts.)

To make it clear that this picture is a staged scene, the photographer uploaded another photo from the photo session with his nephew to his Instagram account :

Photo project: The photographer's nephew is fine - the graves are not real
Photo project : The photographer's nephew is fine - the graves are not real

Result:

This is a photo project!

The graves are not real and the scene was recreated by the photographer's nephew.
