Sushi is the cookery art of combining different ingredients and flavors that compliment each other. Most Sushi recipes are based on the combination of two main ingredients the meat (usually fish) and the rice, the two of them together create the base for delicious Sushi.
BUT WAIT! Enough with the food talk...
SU-SHI Bahrain, is an initiative that I started to produce a graphic communications response to the recent political incidents in my home country, Bahrain. This project is aimed to dig deep within the community, look for things that represent us 'Bahrainis' as united citizens and document them through the lens of my camera. I will collect the photographs, put them together and print them in the form of a book (and then hopefully find a publisher!).
You may wonder about my choice of the project's title "Su-Shi Bahrain"? Well, it's a combination between the two words: Sunni & Shiite - the two main sectors of the Bahraini citizens (the meat and the rice!). As the recent political unrest in Bahrain caused disturbance and division between those two sectors, this project aims to remind them of what it really means to be a Bahraini and that no matter what faith, religion or beliefs we follow, at the end of the day we are all Bahrainis. We are SU-SHIs.
This is a brief explanation/introduction to my project that I aim to finish by the end of this summer - September. During the time I will be working on it I will keep you updated on my progress, what I'm doing, any changes that will occur, and any challenges and difficulties that I will face. Follow me, and feel free to give me any feedback or suggestions! :)
For now I will leave you with one of my favorite songs, which was produced during the unfortunate political incidents in Bahrain & aimed to unite people.
Enjoy :) ...
