The plastic black bag is a vital merchandise tool in the stores and markets in Egypt. It is used in the pharmacies and liquor stores to hide the products. The target is to hide the purchased items from the passersby. This phenomenon actually provokes their sense of curiosity; people want to know what is inside the bag. Whether the merchandise was a personal belonging, underwear or even fruit, Egyptians have gotten used to playing a guessing game of what is inside the bag.

I have gathered a number of items that people usually buy and placed in the plastic bags. However, I added some extra objects that are unpredictable to that specific social setup. My target is to observe and document people’s reactions towards what they find.
