04. Metamorphoscapes:  Edgware Road in Lumen PrintAlternative Printing2024Using the lumen method of printing through sun exposure on silver gelatin photographic paper, the material compositions depicted draw from visual notes taken along Edgware 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 Edgware 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.
