‘A call to reflection’: Photography exhibit highlights water issues.
It encompasses Abdulaziz’s two years of travel to places like Nigeria, Brazil, and Pakistan as he explored stories of water sustainability and accessibility.
Metro spoke with Abdulaziz about his project after he arrived in Vancouver.
What do you hope people learn from your exhibit?
The idea with Water Stories is to create small narratives that interact with each other and deals with people and their environment.
When people look at this exhibition and they see the photograph in whatever capacity, they are looking at fundamentally human behaviour with the planet.
This [exhibit] is not necessarily to inform the viewer.
Imagine yourself in the world and then go out and behave as though you are a part of it.
There are only so many pictures you can show with a small kid with water in his cupped hands.
Will you include Canada in your future projects on water?
