Pearls

Pearls is a series of 50 small works inspired from my travels to Doha, Qatar in 2015. While in Doha I had the opportunity to explore and document the historical district previously occupied by the elite. These historical homes are in the process of being/are demolished to make way for present day architectural trends. Through covering each archival photo I captured with plaster I question contrasting ideas of preserving history or creating new futures.
