By the Light of the Moon

Doha, Qatar transforms. Inhabitants see the past fade and sense detachment from the future, though it advances at a great pace. Much of the city's character, life, and history go unnoticed, at risk of being forgotten. By exploring hidden places at night, unique scenes and their cultures can be recorded. These works preserve memories of places that would otherwise be lost to time and hold onto forgotten icons and the ghosts of yesterday for future generations.

The old and traditional parts of Doha carry beauty and nostalgia. But there's also a sad truth. That authenticity, that unique feeling, is disappearing, gone—replaced by the future's growth and memories threatened by oblivion. Stopping time or progress is impossible, but imagination and careful preservation of secret spaces and hidden haunts, threatened by humanity's desire for constant progress and subsequent destruction, can be achieved.
