This is a story of tradition within modernity, of loneliness in cities filled with people, of questions and anxieties, and of struggles and survival. It is also a story of hope amidst despair, of coexistence with conflict, of dreams despite reality, and of progression with preservation.
Taken on a foggy morning in Sharjah, UAE, in 2021, this photo holds a special place in my heart. I've also sat across the sea watching the waves crash into the bank countless times in my life, and somehow every time I did, the sound of water made it easier for me to listen to myself and feel strong and peaceful. This photo is symbolic of my own journey in life, of my own struggles, successes, dejections, conflicts, dreams, desires, and hope. But this is neither this woman's story nor mine. With you in the photo, it would be your story. Despite different circumstances, we are all connected through similar emotions in our own lives. This is the story of us.
