Don't you just love the smell of freshly washed clothes? Those beautiful photographs by
Sivan Askayo are part of an
ongoing laundry series that began in the vibrant alleyways of Tel Aviv and took her all around the world including
London,
Madrid and even
Florence. Sivan believes that there is something very personal and private, yet so public about laundry. As much as we don’t want to admit it, laundry tells of people's intimate lives and their families. It really makes sense, doesn’t it?
I remember a few years ago while on a trip in
Venice, Balazs and I had tons of fun spotting
outdoor laundry lines hanging from each building. It’s such a typical sight in the city. Don’t you just love those photos? xo
P.S:

Its is so cool
As a kid you always saw in everyones back yard the lines and on a spring day the clothes flapping in the wind.
Something so peaceful about those memories.
Now most neighborhoods prohibit the drying of clothing outdoors, stating that it is an eyesore for the HOAs

I can totally see that, Karena! Great point:)
I have those memories as well, Amy:) Totally peaceful!
That is so cool, J. Italy is a perfect place for laundry-lines spotting, isn't it?
Those images are gorgeous, whoever thought of photographing laundry on a line was a genius.
I miss seeing laundry hanging outside! You rarely see that (in the US) anymore..
Totally agree, Patricia:)
I do love the photos. It reminded me of the Amish territories...you are so right laundry identifies people. Keep up the interesting, yet simple things others just don't even notice, journey. I shall join you.
