Timeless Sands, Endless Skyscrapers

It shouts, gleams, grows upward and outward. But look long enough, and you’ll find the silence between the stories.
This series isn’t about the tallest building or the fastest car.
It’s about the in-between.
The man alone in a gallery.
A woman walking past a mosque as the Burj Khalifa fades into the haze.
The reflection of a stranger waiting by a wall, half-lit by headlights.
You feel it most in the dust.
In the leftover metal sheets on a beach, curled like discarded punctuation.
In the gaps between construction cranes.
In a city that seems obsessed with tomorrow, but is built – literally – on what came before.
These photographs aren’t trying to explain Dubai.
They’re fragments, held in soft light and hard shadows.
They’re what you see when you stop searching for meaning and just look.
This is Timeless Sands, Endless Skyscrapers.
A city of movement, still for just a second.
