Using the lumen method of printing through sun exposure on silver gelatin photographic paper, the material compositions
depicted draw from visual notes taken along Edgeware Road, a site of significance in my transition from life in Kuwait to London.
The road exists as an in-between realm for London’s Middle Eastern and North African communities, lined with countless shops, market stalls, restaurants,
and community centres that offer the sensations of a past home in the presence of a new one. As a resident of Edgeware Road for my first three years in the U.K,
the road has served me as a space of reconciliation with complex feelings of identity, departure, and transition.
