pHOTO SERIES: KARAMA
“Dignity" in Arabic · Dubai, 2019-2023
Men from Pakistan, Bangladesh, India, Nepal at the hour when their shift ends but home remains an ocean away. Over tea on loading docks, they improvise belonging in a city built by people who can't stay. Dubai rises on their labor, yet renders them temporary. Always temporary.
pHOTO SERIES: eye level
sOUTH AFRICA india, 2019
Children photographed in South Africa and India, shot up close and in available light. What stays with you is not shyness but the opposite: they hold the camera's gaze with a calm boldness, half welcome, half challenge. . They look straight back, and they let you come near.
