注意事項

Lots are subject to 5% import Duty on the importation value (low estimate) levied at the time of collection shipment within UAE. For UAE buyers, please note that duty is paid at origin (Dubai) and not in the importing country. As such, duty paid in Dubai is treated as final duty payment. It is the buyer's responsibility to ascertain and pay all taxes due.

'I wanted to take this photo during my daily life at the hospital. I used the X-ray because for me, it is a unique force for revealing the inside. I don't know why I thought about suicide... maybe because sometimes we talk about suicide with ourselves. I am a country man and at the same time, the son of this strange, scary oil civilisation. In ten years our lives changed completely. For me it is a drastic change that I experience every day.' (Ahmed Mater)
