Description from the seller

In Stranger, Olivia Arthur imagines the experience of a fictional survivor returning to Dubai fifty years after the 1961 sinking of the passenger ship MV Dara. Using a narrative framework built around this historical event, Arthur’s images and text guide the viewer through a city of striking contrasts, rapid growth, dazzling modernity, and social alienation. The work’s distinctive design, with photographs printed on semi-transparent paper, creates layered visual effects that evoke memory, disorientation, and the fragile, shifting nature of the place.
