Gulfography Teaser 2...

Short Life by Roudha Khamis Al Shamsi

"Our dreams and our true identity are powerful, but we hesitate in fulfilling them because we are afraid of making mistakes and getting lost. As a result, we shut our eyes from the Truth. This photo expresses the life and the dreams we can’t achieve because we are imperfect. Simply, our short lives are like a broken tape." Roudha Al Shamsi



Gulfography Inspiration....

 
 
 


Gulfography was inspired by an exhibit called Privately curated by Shammi Samano in Dubai, which showcased the photographs of female Emirati college students. The exhibit was praised for being a “remarkably honest and spellbinding” look at lives of young woman in the UAE. Wanting to continue and share the journey of Privately, we decided to get virtual and create an on-going global exhibit that can cross geographical and even ideological boundaries.

"Where is the Exit?" by Reem Al Falahi

"I’ve been on this Earth since 1990. Since then, I’ve been trying to see the outside world in a positive way. But I feel that I’ve failed every time I’ve tried. But I’ll try again and again until I get rid of those walls which surrounded me." Reem Al Falahi

"Power Eyes" by Amina Taher

"My photo represents me. Green is my favorite color and that’s why I’ve hid myself in it. Red to me is a power color and I feel that my eyes hold a lot of my power. Some people have even told me that looking into my eyes guides them to know something that they were trying to understand." Amina Taher
