In my personal work, Iam always looking to tell the stories of a Dubai that isn’t shiny, glitzy or luxurious. They are stories about people who have uprooted themselves far from home. I wanted to explore a moment in the day of a certain someone like that. This is a guy who probably picks up thousands of people’s laundry and even on a bad day, you wouldn’t be able to tell what’s going on with him. I wanted to show that other side of the city that one rarely gets to see.
