Sandstorm

In SANDSTORM, the footprints of those who walked before us in personal and collective histories are unearthed, with a recognition that we cannot walk ’without leaving a trace behind.’ These traces form a rich, never-ending tapestry woven into our present-day realities. Anas Hassan has an eye for intricate, quiet details, the kind which become embedded in memory, reshape consciousness and connect people across cultures, time and space. We are connected and, at the same time, alone ’under the moon and stars.’
