Extravagance and excessiveness goes beyond the day to day of our lives, it bleeds into what is meant to be sacred. Ramadan is a yearly reminder to minimize the material and strip down our life to it’s core values. It is currently being experienced, like everything else through the lens of our phones with picture perfect set ups and the belief that more is more.

Ghabga is one of the long standing traditions in the Gulf, where people express their generosity and cultivate social connections. It comes between the Iftar (breaking the fast) and suhour (just before dawn). It deviated from its deeper purpose to something that is yet ti be enjoyed through our phones. This includes musicians, coffee serving stations, small bites services, henna ladies and perfectly set up backdrops for our selfies.

This piece marks and celebrates this moment in time through the documentation of a contemporary ghabga, simultaneously questioning the excessiveness of this globalized ritual. It is a reminder to form a deeper spiritual and social connection where less is more.
