What the creator captured
Davud Akhundzada explored the cultural significance of Qat in Yemen, noting its role as a social substitute for tobacco and alcohol. He was particularly struck by the heavy security presence required for his journey and the stunning mud-brick architecture of the historical town Al-Hajarin. Despite the beauty of the landscape, he observed the visible impact of the decade-long war on the country's infrastructure and waste management.
