Al-Khobar Photobook
The spaces we occupy are always in transition, as are we.
Change happens gradually, but it also happens rapidly. This photobook documents the streets
of Al-Khobar in Saudi Arabia, which have remained more or less the same over decades.
However, some shops that have been around for over 30 years are now disappearing. The photobook
aims to document the changing structure of the city, and documenting the old architecture
and shops that have shaped the urban landscape in the context of the contemporary before they
become of the past.
