MELTING BOUNDARIES

Differing cultures flow together in harmony when they are working towards the same goal. Daily examples can be found in the arts, where art is the language, or a shared joy of sport, where sport is the language. Many Gulf countries have intercultural schools and to a lesser extent, intercultural marriages.
Through the project I have been exploring the relationships formed between the British and Arab cultures which is very different from what we see or read in the media, where the truth about cultural and religious interaction in the Gulf region is often manipulated.
It is my hope that my images will inspire those who view them, enabling an understanding that we can, and in many cases do, live together in harmony, whilst embracing and respecting each other’s cultural differences.
