Them/هم

“Them” (Jan. 2021) is a series of subtitled photographs, edited into a short video released in January 2021.

Each capture narrates different thoughts, flashbacks and glimpses of the life of a young queer Muslim Shami Arab (Levantine) exiled in several ways - whether it is from Palestine / Syria / Lebanon, their roots for too long, being far from family members, growing up in a society they aren’t originally from. It embraces the intersectional narrative of a constantly questioned identity, coming from the outside world, and the navigation between all the aspects of it happening on the inside.

This project comes from days and nights of introspection, healing processes, observations, analysis of people, things and the link between people and things.
