< Previous200 Harper’s Bazaar Saudi Summer 2021 What was a career-defi ning moment for you? I started my career as a graphic designer in 1997, and my struggle was fi nding photos to use for my designs. This is when I decided I needed to do it myself as only I could know how I wanted the photo and what design I had in my mind. In your view, how strong is the storytelling power of photography? There is a saying by Bruno Barbey that “photography is the only language that can be understood anywhere in the world.” Everything around us has a soul, and what I usually do is highlight its beauty so that anyone can feel the message I want to deliver. ؟ﺔﻴﻨﻬﳌا ﻚﺗيرﺴﻣ تد ّﺪﺣ ﻲﺘﻟا ﺔﻈﺤﻠﻟا ﻲﻫﺎﻣ نيﺎﻋأ ﺖﻨﻛو ،1997 مﺎـﻋ كيـﻴﻓاﺮﻏ ﻢ ّﻤﺼﻤﻛ ﺔـﻴﻨﻬﳌا تييرـﺴﻣ ُتأﺪـﺑ مﻮـﻗأ نأ ترﺮـﻗ ﻚـﻟﺬﻟ ،ﻲـﻤﻴﻣﺎﺼﺘﻟ ٍﺔﺒـﺳﺎﻨﻣ ٍرﻮـﺻ ﻦـﻋ ﺚـﺤﺒﻟا ﰲ .ﻪﺟﺎﺘﺣأ ﺎـﻣ ًﺎـﻣﺎتم ﻢـﻬﻓأ ﻲـﻨﻧﻷ ﴘـﻔﻨﺑ رﻮـﺼﻟا طﺎـﻘﺘﻟﺎﺑ ؟ﺺﺼﻘﻟا ﺔﻳاور ﰲ ةرﻮﺼﻟا ةرﺪﻗ ىﺪﻣ ﺎﻣ ،ﻚﻳأﺮﺑ ﺎـﻬﻤﻬﻔﻳ ﻲـﺘﻟا ةﺪـﻴﺣﻮﻟا ﺔـﻐﻠﻟا ﻮـﻫ ﺮـﻳﻮﺼﺘﻟا» :بيرﺎـﺑ ﻮـﻧوﺮﺑ لﻮـﻘﻳ ﻞﻜـﻟ ًﺎـﺻﺎﺧ ًاﺰـّﻴتم ىرأ ﺎـﻧأو ،«لمﺎـﻌﻟا ءﺎـﺤﻧأ ﻊـﻴﻤﺟ ﻦـﻣ سﺎـﻨﻟا ﻞﻛ ﻰﺘﺣ لماـﺠﻟا اﺬﻫ ﲆـﻋ ءﻮﻀﻟا ﻂﻴﻠـﺴﺗ ﱃإ ﻰﻌـﺳأو ،ﺎـﻨﺑ ﻂـﻴﺤﻳ ﺎـﻣ .ﻊـﻴﻤﺠﻟا ﱃإ ﻲﺘﻟﺎـﺳر ﻞـﺼﺗ AMEEN QAISARAN ناﺮﺼﻴﻗ ﻦﻴﻣأ ﺮﻳﻮﺼﺗ بﺎﺘﻛ ﻞﻀﻓﻟﺄ نﺎﻤﻠﺳ ﻦﺑ نﺎﻄﻠﺳ ﺮﻴﻣﻟﺄا ةﺰﺋﺎﺟ ﻰﻠﻋ ﺰﺋﺎﺣو Qaisaran Studio ﺲ ّﺳﺆﻣ ،رّﻮﺼﻣو نﺎّﻨﻓ ﻮﻫ ناﺮﺼﻴﻗ ﻦﻴﻣأ يﻮﺒﻨﻟا ﺪﺠﺴﻤﻟا تﺎﻴﻟﺎﻤﺟ ﻰﻠﻋ ءﻮﻀﻟا ﻂ ّﻠﺴﻳ يﺬﻟاو ،“اﺬﻫ يﺪﺠﺴﻣ” ﻪﺑﺎﺘﻛ ﻦﻋ 2018 مﺎﻌﻟ ﺔﻳدﻮﻌﺴﻟا ﺔﻴﺑﺮﻌﻟا ﺔﻜﻠﻤﻤﻟا ﻲﻓ ﻲﻓاﺮﻏﻮﺗﻮﻓ .ةرّﻮﻨﻤﻟا ﺔﻨﻳﺪﻤﻟا ﻲﻓ Artist, photographer, coffee-table book producer and Qaisaran Studio’s founder Ameen Qaisaran was awarded the Prince Sultan bin Salman prize for the best photography book in Saudi in 2018: Masjedi Hatha, which showcases the beauty of the Prophet’s Mosque in Medina .ﻼ ُﻌﻟا لﺎﺒﳉ ﺔﺑﻼﺧ ةرﻮﺻ ةرﺎﻨﻣ ﲆﻋ ﺲﻤﺸﻟا بوﺮﻏ :ﺔﻠﺑﺎﻘﳌا ﺔﺤﻔﺼﻟا ﰲ ناﴫﻴﻗ ﲔﻣأ ﺮﻳﻮﺼﺗ ،يﻮﺒﻨﻟا ﺪﺠﺴﳌا The breathtaking mountains of AlUla.

Diversity is what makes Saudi unique: diversity in culture, clothing, nature and architecture. What I adored the most was seeing Diriyah for the fi rst time in 2018 and knowing all about the materials used in the building, how it was breathable in summer, and warm in the winter. In addition; the fast-paced development in mega-projects like NEOM and others. Who inspires you? Vivian Maier and Ansel Adams inspired me in how they produced historical photos. The care of quality not quantity and the joy they had in the process is clear. They took photography as a mission. The photos were like a symphony and their stories were told even after they passed. If time could stand still like a photograph, which moment would you freeze? I was with my wife exploring AlUla’s mountains with our caravan and the rain started to fall. Being in a magical place like this with my loved one in sparkly weather is my wish. Seeing your achievements now, what would you say to your younger self? I would say thank you. You are lucky for knowing what you love from a young age and pursuing your dreams will always be your key to success. ؟ﻚﻳأﺮﺑ ﺔﻳدﻮﻌﺴﻟا ﺔﻴﺑﺮﻌﻟا ﺔﻜﻠﳌا لماﺟ ﺲﻜﻌﻳ يﺬﻟا ﺎﻣ ﺔﻓﺎﻘﺜﻟا تﻻﺎـﺠﻣ ﰲ يرﺒﻛ ع ّﻮـﻨﺘﺑ ﺔﻳدﻮﻌـﺴﻟا ﺔﻴﺑﺮﻌﻟا ﺔـﻜﻠﻤﳌا ﺰـﻴﻤﺘﺗ ًاﺪﻴﻌـﺳ ﺖـﻨﻛو .يرماـﻌﳌا عﻮـﻨﺘﻟا ﺐـﻧﺎﺟ ﱃإ ﺔـﻌﻴﺒﻄﻟاو ءﺎـﻳزﻷاو ﺖـﻓّﺮﻌﺗ ﺚـﻴﺣ 2018 مﺎـﻋ ﱃوﻷا ةﺮـﻤﻠﻟ ﺔـﻴﻋرﺪﻟا ﺔـﻨﻳﺪﳌ تيرﺎـﻳﺰﺑ ﺎﻬﺘﻴﻨﺑﻷ ةﺰـﻴﻤﳌا ﻢﻴﻤﺼﺘﻟاو ﺎﻬﺋﺎﻨﺑ ﰲ ﺔﻣﺪﺨﺘـﺴﳌا داﻮـﳌا ﻊﻴﻤﺟ ﲆـﻋ ﰲ ًﺔـﺌﻓادو ﻒـﻴﺼﻟا ّﺮـﺣ لﻼـﺧ ﻦﻜـﺴﻠﻟ ًﺔﺒـﺳﺎﻨﻣ ﺎـﻬﻠﻌﺠﻳ يﺬـﻟا ﺔﻜﻠﻤﳌا هﺪﻬـﺸﺗ يﺬـﻟا ﻊـﻳﴪﻟا رﻮـﻄﺘﻟا ﻲـﻨﻠﻫذأ ماـﻛ ،ءﺎﺘـﺸﻟا دﺮـﺑ .يرـﺜﻜﻟا ﺎـﻫيرﻏو مﻮـﻴﻧ ﻞـﺜﻣ ةيرـﺒﻜﻟا ﻊﻳرﺎـﺸﳌاو ؟ﻚﻣﺎﻬﻟإ رﺪﺼﻣ ﻮﻫ ﻦﻣ رﻮـﺼﻟا ﻦـﻣ ﺰـﻣادآ ﻞﻴـﺴﻧأو ﺮـﻳﺎﻣ نﺎـﻴﻔﻴﻓ تﺎـﻋاﺪﺑإ ﻲـﻨﻤﻬﻠﺗ وﺪﺒﻳ يﺬﻟا ماﻬﻔﻐـﺷ ﺐﻧﺎﺟ ﱃإ ،ﺎﻬﺗدﻮﺟ ﲆـﻋ ماـﻬﺻﺮﺣو ﺔـﻴﺨﻳرﺎﺘﻟا ﺔﻟﺎـﺳر ماـﻬﻟ ﺔﺒـﺴﻨﻟﺎﺑ ﺮـﻳﻮﺼﺘﻟا ﻞّﻜـﺷ ﺚـﻴﺣ ،ماـﻬﻟماﻋأ ﰲ ًﺎـﺤﺿاو ًﺎﺼﺼﻗ يوﺮـﺗ ﻲـﺘﻟا ﺔﻴﻧﻮﻔﻤﻴـﺴﻟا ﻞـﺜﻣ ماـﻬﻟماﻋأ ﻞـﻌﺟ ماـﻣ ،ﺔـﻤﻬﻣ .ماـﻬﻠﻴﺣر ﺪـﻌﺑ ﻰـﺘﺣ تّﺮﻤﺘـﺳا ةﺰـﻴﻤﻣ ﻞﺜﻣ رﻮﺼﻟا ﺖﻧﺎﻛ” يوﺮﺗ ﻲﺘﻟا ﺔﻴﻧﻮﻔﻤﺴﻟا “ﻢﻬﻠﻴﺣر ﺪﻌﺑ ﻰﺘﺣ ﻢﻬﺼﺼﻗ ﻦﻣ هﻼﻋأ ةرﻮﺼﻟا ناﴫﻴﻗ ﲔﻣأ ﺮﻳﻮﺼﺗ Above: Photo by Ameen Qaisaran HBSA_002_194to207_ArabianSights_11720514.indd 20205/07/2021 12:56:36 PM203 Harper’s Bazaar Saudi Summer 2021 If we could truly see the world through your eyes, what would we learn? The hidden beauty. I always ask myself how I feel about something, whether it’s a place, project or a person. Where is its beauty? And I always fi nd the answer in the picture, in the details. You will learn to see the beauty around you. What’s a dream you have for your future? Showing the real beauty of Saudi by building the Saudi photographic archive. This is why I launched my own studio in Riyadh, specialised in artistically documenting culture and the real beauty of Saudi Arabia with an international standard. ﻲـﻫ ﺎـﻣ ،رﻮـﺼﻟا ﰲ ماـﻛ ﺔـﻈﺤﻠﻟ ﻦـﻣﺰﻟا فﺎـﻘﻳإ ﻚـﻧﺎﻜﻣﺈﺑ نﺎﻛ نإ ؟ﺎـﻫﺪﻨﻋ ﻦـﻣﺰﻟا ﻒـﻗﻮﺘﻳ نأ ﻰـّﻨﻤﺘﺗ ﻲـﺘﻟا ﺔـﻈﺤّﻠﻟا ﰲ ﻼـُﻌﻟا ﺔـﻨﻳﺪﳌ ﺔﻴﻓﺎـﺸﻜﺘﺳا ٍﺔـﻠﺣر ﰲ ﻲـﺘﺟوز ﻊـﻣ ﺖـﺒﻫذ لماـﺟ ﻦـﻣ داز ماـﻣ ﺮـﻄتم ءماـﺴﻟا تأﺪـﺑو ،ﺔـﺻﺎﺨﻟا ﺎـﻨﺘﺑﺮﻋ ﺔـﻘﻓﺮﺑو ٍﺮﺣﺎـﺳ ٍنﺎﻜـﻣ ﰲ ﺔـﻈﺤﻠﻟا هﺬـﻫ نﻮـﻜﺘﻟ ﺎـﻨﻟﻮﺣ ﺔـﻌﻴﺒﻄﻟا .ﺎـﻫﺪﻨﻋ ﻦـﻣﺰﻟا فﺎـﻘﻳإ ّدوأ ﻲـﺘﻟا تﺎـﻈﺤﻠﻟا ﻦـﻣ ﺐـﺣأ ﻦـﻣ ﺎـﻬﻬﺟﻮﺗ ﻲـﺘﻟا ﺔـﺤﻴﺼﻨﻟا ﻲـﻫ ﺎـﻣ ،ﺔـﻴﻟﺎﺤﻟا ﻚـﺗازﺎﺠﻧإ ىﺮـﺗ ﺎـﻣﺪﻨﻋ ؟تﺎـﻳاﺪﺒﻟا ﰲ ﻚـﺴﻔﻨﻟ ،ﺮّﻜﺒﻣ ﱟﻦـﺳ ﰲ ﻪﻔﻐـﺷ ﻒـﺸﺘﻛا ﻪﻧﻷ ﺮﻜـﺸﻟﺎﺑ يرـﻐﺼﻟا ينـﻣﻷ ﻪـﺟﻮﺗأ .حﺎﺠﻨﻟا حﺎـﺘﻔﻣ ﻮـﻫ مﻼﺣﻷا ﻖـﻴﻘﺤﺘﻟ ﻲﻌـﺴﻟا نأ ﻪـﻟ ﺪـﻛؤأو ؟ىنرﺳ اذﺎﻣ ،كرﻮﻈﻨﻣ ﻦﻣ لمﺎﻌﻟا ﱃإ ﺎﻧﺮﻈﻧ اذإ وأ ﺪـﻳﺪﺟ ٍنﺎﻜـﻣ يأ هﺎـﺠﺗ يﺮﻋﺎـﺸﻣ ﻒـﺸﺘﻛأ نأ ًﺎـﻣود لوﺎـﺣأ ﺎـﳌﺎﻄﻟو ،ﻪـﻴﻓ ﺊـﺒﺘﺨﳌا لماـﺠﻟا ﻦـﻋ ﺚـﺤﺑأ ،ﺺﺨـﺷ وأ عوﴩـﻣ ﻢﻜﺘﻋﺎﻄﺘـﺳﺎﺑ نﺎﻛ ﻮﻠﻓ .رﻮـﺼﻟا ﻞﻴﺻﺎﻔﺗ ﰲ ﻪـﻨﻋ ﺚـﺤﺑأ ﺎـﻣ ُتﺪـﺟو ﻞﻛ ﰲ لماـﺠﻟا نوﺪﺠﺗ ﻒﻴﻛ نﻮﻓﺮﻌﺘـﺳ يرﻮـﻈﻨﻣ ﻦﻣ لمﺎـﻌﻟا ﺔـﻳؤر .ﻢﻜﻟﻮﺣ ﺎـﻣ ؟ﺔﻴﻠﺒﻘﺘﺴﳌا ﻚﺗﺎﻌﻠﻄﺗ ﻲﻫ ﺎﻣ ﺔـﻴﺑﺮﻌﻟا ﺔـﻜﻠﻤﻤﻠﻟ ﻲـﻘﻴﻘﺤﻟا لماـﺠﻟا ﲆـﻋ ءﻮـﻀﻟا ﻂﻴﻠـﺴﺗ ﻰـﻨتمأ اﺬﻫو ،رﻮـﺼﻟا ﻦﻣ ﺪـﻳﺮﻔﻟا ﺎﻬﻔﻴـﺷرأ ءﺎـﻨﺑ ﰲ ﺔﻤﻫﺎـﺴﳌاو ﺔﻳدﻮﻌـﺴﻟا يﺬـﻟاو ،ضﺎـﻳﺮﻟا ﰲ بي صﺎـﺨﻟا ﻮﻳﺪﺘـﺳﻻا ﺲﻴـﺳﺄﺘﻟ ﻲـﻨﻌﻓد ﺎـﻣ ﺔﻜﻠﻤﳌا ﰲ ﻲـﻘﻴﻘﺤﻟا لماﺠﻟاو ﺔﻓﺎﻘﺜﻠﻟ ﻲـّﻨﻔﻟا ﻖـﻴﺛﻮﺘﻟا ﰲ ﺺـ ّﺼﺨﺘﻳ ■ .ﺔـﻴﳌﺎﻋ يرـﻳﺎﻌﻣ ﻖـﻓو The CULTURE From top: A lady in Jeddah’s Al-Balad area; A lock on an old, colourful door in Medina.

I see myself wearing many hats, so I think the defi ning moment in the art fi eld was when I had my fi rst exhibition, Doors of Barlik with Athr Gallery in 2016, and a career-defi ning moment in the exhibition and art-management fi elds was when I got appointed by His Royal Highness Prince Faisal bin Salman as the director of Madinah Art Center. ؟ﺔﻴﻨﻬﳌا ﻚﺗيرﺴﻣ تد ّﺪﺣ ﻲﺘﻟا ﺔﻈﺤﻠﻟا ﻲﻫﺎﻣ ﰲ ةﺰـﻴﻤﳌا ﺔـﻈﺤﻠﻟا ّنأ ﺪـﻘﺘﻋأ ﻚـﻟﺬﻟ ،ةدﺪـﻌﺘﻣ تﻻﺎـﺠﻣ ﰲ ﻞـﻤﻋأ نوﺎﻌﺘﻟﺎﺑ «ﻚﻟﺮﺑ باﻮـﺑأ» لوﻷا ﴈﺮـﻌﻣ ﺔﻣﺎﻗﺈﺑ ﺖﻧﺎﻛ ﺔـﻴﻨﻔﻟا تييرـﺴﻣ ،نﻮﻨﻔﻟا ةرادإو ضرﺎـﻌﳌا لﺎـﺠﻣ ﰲ ﺎـﻣأ . 2016 مﺎـﻋ ﺮـﺛأ ييرـﻟﺎﻏ ﻊـﻣ ﻮ ّﻤـﺴﻟا ﺐﺣﺎﺻ مﺎﻗ ينـﺣ ﺖـﻧﺎﻛ ﺔـﻗرﺎﻔﻟا ﺔـﻣﻼﻌﻟا نأ لﻮـﻘﻟا ﻲـﻨﻨﻜيم .نﻮﻨﻔﻠﻟ ﺔﻨﻳﺪﳌا ﺰـﻛﺮﳌ ًاﺮﻳﺪﻣ ﻲـﻨﻴﻌﺘﺑ نماﻠـﺳ ﻦﺑ ﻞﺼﻴﻓ يرﻣﻷا كيـﻠﳌا يﺬﻟا فﺎﺸﻜﺘﺳﻟﺎا ﺐﺤﺑ ﺮﻬﺘﺷاو ،ةرﻮﻨﻤﻟا ﺔﻨﻳﺪﻤﻟا ﻲﻓ ﺪﻟو ﻒﺸﻜﺘﺴﻣو ﺚﺣﺎﺑو ٌنﺎﻨﻓ .ةﺮﺛﺆﻤﻟا ﻪﻟﺎﻤﻋأ ﻲﻓ ًﺎﺤﺿاو ﺮﻬﻈﻳ Born in Medina, Moath Alofi is an artist, researcher and explorer whose innate curiosity defi nes his evocative, self-expressive work This picture is part of the Doors of Barlik series. .“ﻚﻟﺮﺑ باﻮﺑأ” ﺔﻠﺴﻠﺳ ﻦﻣ ةرﻮﺼﻟا هﺬﻫ ﻊﺠﺘﻨﻣ ﻦﻣ ﺔﻠﺑﺎﻘﳌا ﺔﺤﻔﺼﻟا نﺎﺗرﻮﺼﻟا ،ﻼﻌﻟا ﰲ ندﺎﺷ ﰲﻮﻌﻟا ذﺎﻌﻣ ﺔﺳﺪﻌﺑ Facing page: A view of the Shaden Desert Resort in AlUla.

Well, some photos can be just as powerful as a bullet. With one single photograph, you can literally change the course of history, politics, archaeology, social behaviour and more. What do you think informs the visual beauty of Saudi? Defi nitely the diversity of its landscape, people and culture – that’s what informs the beauty of Saudi. What inspires you? I get inspired from feelings that I go through while exploring and by a sense of distention when I reach somewhere new that I have never been to in the desert. Rusty, abandoned village houses can get me inspired too – the great land of Saudi Arabia inspires me. If time could stand still like a photograph, which moment would you freeze? This is a very hard question – I’ve had lots of great moments that I would love to freeze, and one of them is when I fl ew over the Almansaf crater in Khaybar. Seeing your achievements now, what would you say to your younger self? Do what you love and don’t worry. If we could truly see the world through your eyes, what would we learn? Maybe you will learn about beauty or learn to interpret pain and ugliness differently, and maybe you would see hope clearly. What’s a dream you have for your future? Closer ties between each other, and more communities being involved in art and culture. ؟ﺎﻣ ﺔﺼﻗ ﻦﻋ يرﺒﻌّﺘﻟا ﰲ ةرﻮﺼﻟا ةرﺪﻗ ىﺪﻣ ﺎﻣ ،ﴢﺨﺸﻟا ﻚﻳأﺮﺑ نأ ةﺪﺣاو ةرﻮـﺼﻟ ﻦـﻜﻤﻴﻓ ،صﺎﺻﺮﻟﺎﻛ ﺔـﻳﻮﻗ نﻮـﻜﺗ ﻲـﺘﻟا رﻮـﺼﻟا ﺾـﻌﺑ كﺎـﻨﻫ يرﺜﻜﻟاو ﻊﻤﺘﺠﳌا كﻮﻠـﺳ ﻰﺘﺣو رﺎـﺛﻵا ﻢﻠﻋ وأ ﺔـﺳﺎﻴﺴﻟا وأ ﺦـﻳرﺎّﺘﻟا رﺎـﺴﻣ يرـّﻐﺗ .ىﺮﺧﻷا ﺔـﻠﺜﻣﻷا ﻦﻣ ؟ﻚﻳأﺮﺑ ﺔﻳدﻮﻌﺴﻟا ﺔﻴﺑﺮﻌﻟا ﺔﻜﻠﳌا لماﺟ ﺲﻜﻌﻳ يﺬﻟا ﺎﻣ ﺔﻳدﻮﻌـﺴﻟا لماﺟ ﻦﻤﻜﻳ ﺎﻨﻫو ﺎﻬﺘﻓﺎﻘﺛو ﺎﻬﺒﻌـﺷو ﺔﻴﻌﻴﺒﻄﻟا ﺎـﻫﺮﻇﺎﻨﻣ ﰲ عﻮـﻨّﺘﻟا .ﻲﻘﻴﻘﺤﻟا ؟ﻚﻣﺎﻬﻟإ رﺪﺼﻣ ﻮﻫ ﺎﻣ عﺎـﺴّﺗا ﺔـﻋور ًﺎـﻀﻳأو ،ﰲﺎـﺸﻜﺘﺳا لﻼـﺧ ﻲـﻨﺑﺎﺘﻨﺗ ﻲـﺘﻟا ﺮﻋﺎـﺸﳌا ﻲـﻨﻤﻬﻠﺗ ﻦﻣ ﺎﻫرزأ لم ةﺪـﻳﺪﺟ ﺔـﻳواﺮﺤﺻ ﺔـﻬﺟو ﱃإ ﻞـﺻأ ﺎـﻣﺪﻨﻋ ﺔـﻴﻌﻴﺒّﻄﻟا تﺎﺣﺎـﺴﳌا مﻮﻤﻌﻟﺎﺑو ،ةرﻮـﺠﻬﻣ ﺔـﻳﺮﻗ تﻮـﻴﺑ ﻦﻣ مﺎـﻬﻟﻹا ﺪﻤﺘـﺳا نأ ﻦـﻜيم ًﺎـﻧﺎﻴﺣأو .ﻞـﺒﻗ .ﺔـﻌﺋاﺮﻟا ﺔﻳدﻮﻌـﺴﻟا تﺎـﻬﺟﻮﻟا ﻲـﻨﺘﻤﻬﻟأ ﺎـﳌﺎﻄﻟ ﻲﺘﻟا ﺔﻈﺤّﻠﻟا ﻲـﻫ ﺎﻣ ،رﻮﺼﻟا ﰲ ماـﻛ ﺔـﻈﺤﻠﻟ ﻦـﻣﺰﻟا فﺎـﻘﻳإ ﻚـﻧﺎﻜﻣﺈﺑ نﺎﻛ نإ ؟ﺎﻫﺪﻨﻋ ﻦﻣﺰﻟا ﻒـﻗﻮﺘﻳ نأ ﻰـّﻨﻤﺘﺗ نأ ﻰﻨتمأ ﻲـﺘﻟا ﺔﻌﺋاّﺮﻟا تﺎـﻈﺤﻠﻟا ﻦـﻣ يرﺜﻜﻟا ﺖـﺸﻋ ..ًاﺪـﺟ ٌﺐـﻌﺻ ٌلاﺆـﺳ ﻪـّﻧإ ﻒـﺴﻨﳌا ﺔـّﻴَﻠﺣ ﺔـﻫﻮﻓ قﻮـﻓ ةﺮـﺋﺎﻄﻟﺎﺑ تﱪـﻋ ﺎـﻣﺪﻨﻋ ﺖـﻧﺎﻛ ﺎـﻫاﺪﺣإو ،موﺪـﺗ .ﱪﻴﺧ ةﺮـﺣ ﰲ ﺔـﻴﻧﺎﻛﱪﻟا ﻚـﺴﻔﻨﻟ ﺎﻬﻣﺪﻘﺗ ﻲﺘﻟا ﺔﺤﻴﺼﻨﻟا ﻲﻫ ﺎـﻣ ،تازﺎﺠﻧﻹا هﺬـﻫ ّﻞﻛ ﺖـﻘﻘﺣ نأ ﺪـﻌﺑ ؟ﺮﻐﺻأ ﺮﻤﻌﺑ ﺖـﻨﻛ ﺎﻣﺪﻨﻋ .ﻖﻠﻘﺗ ﻻو ﺐﺤﺗ ﺎﻣ ﻞﻌﻓا ؟ىنرﺳ اذﺎﻣ ،كرﻮﻈﻨبم لمﺎﻌﻟا ﱃإ ﺎﻧﺮﻈﻧ اذإ .حﻮﺿﻮﺑ ﻞﻣﻷا ﺔﻳؤر نﻮﻌﻴﻄﺘﺴﺗ ﺎبمرو ،لمﻷا تﺎﻈﺤﻟ ﰲ ﻰّﺘﺣ لماﺠﻟا ؟ﻞﺒﻘﺘﺴﳌا ﰲ ﺔﻘﻴﻘﺤﺗ ﱃإ ﻊﻠﻄﺘﺗ يﺬﻟا ﻢﻠﺤﻟا ﻮﻫ ﺎﻣ ﺔـﻳﻮﻘﺗ ﱃإ يدﺆﻴـﺳ ماـﻣ ﻦـﻔﻟاو ﺔـﻓﺎﻘﺜﻟا تﻻﺎـﺠﻣ ﰲ ﻊـﻤﺘﺠﳌا داﺮـﻓأ ﺔﻛرﺎـﺸﻣ .ﺾـﻌﺒﻟا ﺎـﻨﻀﻌﺑ ينـﺑ ﻂـﺑاوﺮﻟا “With one single photograph, you can literally change the course of history” ةﺪﺣاو ةرﻮﺼﻟ ﻦﻜﻤﻳ” “ﺦﻳرﺎﺘﻟا رﺎﺴﻣ ﺮّﻴﻐﺗ نأ INTER VIEWS BY A YESHA S.
