Oil Well Fire Residue, Kuwait
Southern Kuwait, nine months after the oil well fires of Desert Storm were ignited, it shows the extent and pattern of environmental degradation caused by the smoke residue from the oil well fires.
Climate change and pollution have become a global issue, and this series is my personal crusade in bringing awareness to it. I wanted to use my photographs to voice my deep sense of concern for the next generation. As a father I strongly believed that I had a moral duty to take action and as an artist I wanted to be a humble catalyst. I superimposed portraits of children from around the world over images of the earth and merged their innocent faces into these perilous landscapes.
