Window is a visual photography project documenting everyday life in Yemen through windows, homes, cars, openings, doors, holes, and the spaces surrounding them.

The project approaches the window not merely as an architectural element, but as a human and symbolic space situated between inside and outside, between what is seen and what is lived, between presence and absence. It becomes a visual threshold that both separates and connects, allowing fragments of life to appear without explanation or imposed meaning.

Rather than relying on direct narration or textual context, the project allows the photographs themselves to carry the story. The images hold quiet emotions, subtle human details, traces of loss, resilience, hope, and ordinary moments unfolding within an extraordinary social and political context shaped by war and prolonged uncertainty.

At times, the window appears clearly within the frame; at other times, its physical form disappears entirely. Yet the act of looking remains central throughout the work. Looking from inside to outside, or from outside to inside, becomes a way of understanding life in Yemen through multiple perspectives, without claiming a single truth or definitive narrative.

The project focuses on the everyday, the marginal, and the often overlooked: fleeting moments, silent spaces, neglected corners, and simple frames that transform into sites of visual and human reflection. It does not aim to document events themselves, but rather their invisible impact on daily life and personal spaces.

Window is a self-initiated and independently produced project. It offers a quiet, non-invasive visual reading of Yemen from within, moving away from stereotypes and overtly journalistic representations, and instead relying on the power of the photographic image as a space for contemplation, witnessing, and presence.
