"Discordia," is a new book by Magnum Photojournalist Moises Saman that represents his "personal memory" during his time working and living in the Middle East during the Arab Spring from 2011 to 2015. In Greek mythology, Discordia is the Goddess of Strife. ABC News asked Saman about the title of his book and whether it referred to the Goddess of Strife. Pictured, Fatima reacts after seeing the body of her dead son, 25-year-old Habib al-Akramah, tortured and killed by pro-Assad militias in the city of Aleppo in Marae, Syria, July 2012.

Saman responded, "Yes, but also it refers to the parallels of greek theater and tragedy to the arab spring. As the events unfolded I started seeing parallels with theater, especially evident in the group performances and the mob mentality that surround and feed the cult of personality, and also in the context of the violent demonstrations I photographed." Pictured, a Qaddafi supporter holds a portrait of the Libyan leader during a celebration staged for a group of visiting foreign journalists after regime forces re-took the city from rebels in Zawiyah, Libya, March 2011.

Saman states, "After some time, I started to think about the protestors beyond the subject of a ‘news’ action picture, and instead I became obsessed with their body language, the theatrics, and performance-like rituals that I saw repeated in Cairo, Tripoli, Tunis, or Hamma. Some aspect of the Arab Spring resembled a Shakespearean tragedy, filled with plots and sub-plots, betrayal, love, death, and humor." To illustrate these "theatrics," Saman included photo collages created by the Dutch-Iranian artist Daria Birang that focus on the body language and emotion of the subjects.
