Ал-Хувайр - Аль-Гариях, северный Катар, 6-13 июня 2015 года. Фотоальбом запечатлел сцены из двух заброшенных рыбацких деревень, Ал-Хувайр и Аль-Гариях, расположенных на северном побережье Катара, снятые в период с 6 по 13 июня 2015 года. На изображениях показан пустынный пейзаж с остатками старых зданий, мечетей, школ и домов, демонстрирующих богатую историю деревень и их культурное наследие. Многие постройки ветшают, стены разрушаются, окна разбиты, а вокруг лежит мусор, создавая ощущение запустения и пренебрежения. Фотографии также подчеркивают уникальные архитектурные черты региона, включая традиционные колоннады, каменные стены и минареты, а также суровую пустыню, которая вернула себе эти места. В целом, альбом дает душещипательный взгляд на прошлое Катара, подчеркивая временность человеческого присутствия и неизбежность течения времени – Russian translation
2015 年 6 月 6 日至 13 日,摄影师捕捉到了位于卡塔尔北部 Al Khuwair - Al Ghariyah 的两个被遗弃的渔村的场景。这些照片展示了这些村庄衰败的历史和文化遗产,包括旧建筑、清真寺、学校和住宅的残余物。很多结构都损毁严重,有着破碎的墙壁、窗户和碎片四处散落,给人一种被遗弃和冷落的感觉。照片还突出了该地区独特的建筑风格,包括传统的多柱式庭院、石墙和塔楼,以及这个区域已经改造为沙漠环境的景象。总体来说,相册向人们展现了卡塔尔的过去,突出了人类存在的暂时性和时间流逝的必然性。 – Chinese translation
