The meshing in of human interventions in natural environments is the focus of a new photography exhibition at Tashkeel, Dubai. 'From End to End' runs until March 1, 2022, featuring 30 images by Emirati photography enthusiasts -- Ola Allouz, Yaghoub Al Hammadi, Mousa Al Raeesi, Faisal Al Rais, Mona Al Tamimi and Maitha Bughanoum. It has been curated by Tashkeel's founder and director, Sheikha Lateefa bint Maktoum, and Jassim Al Awadhi, one of the UAE's first Emirati photographers, who is also the Founder and Chairman of the Akkas, the UAE Photography Club and Chairman of the Emirates Photography Association.
The photographs prompt viewers to question mankind's synergy with the natural world. The pictures depict streets scenes from Satwa, remote mangroves of Al Dhafra, women workers at the bustling coastlines of Zanzibar, drone shots of Fujairah, owl hatchlings in Al Qudra and slices from iftar meals.

The subtle details of each work highlight man's unrelenting disruption of the environment around him -- the microparticles of plastics worn by fisherwomen drifting into the seas; the remnants of fishing nets deposited in the seas of the Arabian Gulf; the dredged tidal flats off the shore of Abu Dhabi; and the plastic waste generated from communal feasts. While in an untouched area of Dubai nests an owl and her chicks. As their existence and that of their species hangs in the balance, the images stand as a bold reminder of the fragility of the natural world and the need for mankind to step up and fulfill its unequivocal moral duty to protect and preserve it for all time.
