Северный Катар, 17 июня 2016 года. Этот фотоальбом показывает заброшенную рыбацкую деревню Аль-Гария на северо-восточном побережье Катара, ее разрушающиеся здания, пустынный пейзаж и удивительно живучую растительность. На 32 фотографиях, сделанных 17 июня 2016 года, показан город-призрак с разрушенными домами, школами и мечетями, заросшими растительностью и износившимися от времени. Фотографии также демонстрируют суровую пустынную окружающую среду с песчаными дюнами, каменистой местностью и редкой растительностью, а также изредка встречающиеся неприхотливые растения, такие как дерево содома и Nerium oleander. Альбом дает откликнуться дотошные думы о прошлом Катара, демонстрируя остатки некогда процветающего сообщества и неумолимость времени.
