Dubai: What's Left of Her Land?

Dubai is a city of superlatives that includes the largest, the highest, and the most expensive.

It is a land that seems to have been built overnight. Dubai: What’s left of her land? is intended as a showcase or visual document of what has happened to the land, how it has been used and how much is still asked of it.

Artist Reem Al Ghaith created a major installation using a wide-range of media that borrowed from and referenced the ubiquitous construction activity in Dubai.
