		<description><![CDATA[The focus of my photography is the Middle East, on women and children especially. Lebanon in particular is interesting because of its key location as a gate to the Middle East, between the West and the Arab world. I grew up and lived in both Lebanon and the U.S. I am a Lebanese insider who speaks the language, knows the country, and understands its people, but also an outsider who can see Lebanon and its complexities through Western eyes, who can still be intrigued by the dichotomies that are shocking to the Westerner, but unnoticed by the locals.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As a mother of a teenage daughter I have been watching with awe her passage from girlhood into adulthood, with all the complications that it entails. As I am observing her and her girlfriends, I became fascinated with the transformation taking place, with the adult personality shaping up and with an insecurity and a self-consciousness that are now replacing the carefree world those girls had live in so far. I started photographing them in group situations, and quickly realized that they were so aware of each other’s presence, and that their being in a group affected very much whom they were portraying to the world. I also realized that under an air of self-assurance, those young women were often very fragile, self-conscious and confused. While their bodies were developing fast into women’s bodies, they were still young girls who suddenly thought they had to behave like adults.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The title of this project deals with the idea of subsistence in a renounced space and prevalence of identity within unwanted houses or structures in the United Arab Emirates (specifically Dubai, Sharjah and Ajman). The photographs of these spaces are varied from being semi-abandoned (people moving to new houses), to those soon to be demolished in lieu of a bigger and more innovative edifice. These interiors represent a young culture that came to notice after the oil boom nearly thirty years ago. With the current need for modernism and the building of the ‘future,’ cultural extinction is sadly inevitable and a new identity is thus forming.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The sense of emptiness of a house whose occupants have departed is somehow striking for me. There is a profound feeling -somewhat- strange about the abandoned houses. Most of the time there is a sad story behind it; forced immigration, need for money, grown children who have left or even death.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Dalia Khamissy: Wednesday July 12, 2006, Hezbollah militants captured two Israeli soldiers in an operation that sparked a series of attacks on Lebanon’s infrastructure, civilians’ houses and natural environment. The offensive lasted for 34 days, during which I was working as the photo editor for an international news agency in its Beirut office; I only saw the conflict through the images that I edited of other photographers. The country was packed with local and international media that transmitted their stories for few weeks after the cease-fire until the world lost interest in Lebanon’s news, and the citizens, whose lives had changed forever, were forgotten. I quit my job by the end of 2006.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The images in the series “A Sunny Day” are derived from a larger collection of Mo Yi’s works called “My Neighborhood.” The collection documents a typical Chinese urban community by systematically recording mundane objects and spaces such as apartment building entrances, building hallways, air conditioners in windows, and quilts in the courtyard. The colorful quilts airing in the sun reflect the meticulous care with which ordinary people take in the upkeep of their belongings, a custom that is becoming less and less apparent today.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[''I am looking for a place to spend the night. Do you know people who would have a bed, or a couch? I don’t need anything in particular, and I have a sleeping-bag. I prefer not to stay in a hotel, because I don’t have a lot of money and because I want to see the way people live in Russia. Could I stay at your place, perhaps? Thank you very much for your help!" For three periods of one month, I have let the Trans-Siberian train guide me alongside forgotten villages, from living room to living room. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Satisfied expectation is a great thing. Unexpected satisfaction is even greater. In January 2006 I got a chance to stay in Cairo, and was looking for material about Coptic inhabitants of Egypt. One early morning, I took an usual trip to explore Cairo’s Garden City. This upper class neighborhood was founded in the early 20th century on former bean fields. Cairo's newest neighborhood occupied a well-defined hexagon, which was bordered to the west by that most magnificent of natural barriers, the Nile. Unlike the other districts of Cairo - Zamalek, Maadi or Heliopolis, which are characterized by endless right angles, wide squares and boulevards, the Garden City has no straight lines. Three times out of four you end up where you started. Walking around Garden City, between beautiful villas in Belle époque style, on the Ahmed Pasha Street just in front of the Japanese embassy, I saw a wonderful palace that looked very much empty and closed.]]></description>
