The last look

The Last Look is an image that speaks about change. It's a personal reflection on the development that is happening in the UAE. The photograph is taken on a sea shelf in the area previously known as Alhasah meaning 'the rock', now known as the Jebel Ali area. A figure walks on the rocks in the foreground, behind her is the horizon line revealing a faint line of sand that looks like it is emerging out of the sea, it is the palm island Jebel Ali. When we look closer we see construction starting to take place on the island. The figure carries a suitcase with her representing the fact that the culture is within the people and no matter what changes are happening, it is up to the people to keep it alive.
