Artist Statement:
An article in the National Geographic titled, Water, The Age of Scarcity Begins, inspired Ammar Al Attar to do a project about water. Moved by the fact that our most basic necessity is a scarce and precious resource, the artist chose the UAE in which to explore the contradictory notion that water is often given away for free; remaining easily accessible and freely available to many.
