About
Thuraya photographs what stays still long enough to be looked at: a stem against a bare wall, a glass on a dark table, the line where the sea meets the sky.
It is a way of seeing that begins with small details — the curve of a petal, salt on cold butter, a shadow that crosses a wall once a day and is gone. Through Thuraya's eyes, beauty is not rare or far away. It is everyday, and it waits in plain sight for anyone willing to slow down.
Life, here, is a blend of tastes: bitter and sweet, quiet and bright, the table and the open sea. The photographs keep them side by side, so that each one carries a little of the others.
They are made in ordinary places — by a window, at a table, in a quiet gallery, at the edge of the water — in whatever light happens to be there, and every one of them on an iPhone: the camera that is always at hand when the light arrives. They are shown as short sequences that move from close study to open space, the way attention does when it is given time.
