"The work provides glimpses into this oasis of faith through the spaces, traces and faces she encounters in the desert.
In doing so she evokes the backstory of the rapid development of the Gulf and the people tasked with facilitating this by the rulers of mega rich oil and gas states.
This work does not focus on the economic imperatives or insecurities of migrant life. Rather, this work reveals where they come, in their Sunday best, to connect with their God, and to find solace in the desert from the burdens of worldly existence."
