Looking back of this past week’s posts, towards the end of the week, it looks like I stumbled on an accidental theme—images of the backs or sides of strangers. Leaning into that for today’s post.

Captured in December 2017 in Bahrain. Taken at what was probably the last ever “The Nest”. The Nest was an annual art exhibition that took place in Adliya, showcasing all sorts of art. The entire area was littered with artwork. It was such a joy to be around.

This piece was created by visual artist, Ali Hussain Merza.

Sad to know that the event no longer takes place. And that some of the galleries have been purchased and turned into yet more restaurants. Sigh.
