And We Created From Water Every Living Thing (ongoing)

Get in touch to see more

The project And We Created From Water Every Living Thing is a look into a mostly overlooked natural disaster, the looming death of the Mesopotamian marshlands. Known to many as the cradle of civilization, the marshlands of southern Iraq are drying up, due to a lack in influx of water from the Tigris and Euphrates rivers. In part, caused by dam projects in neighboring countries Turkey and Iran as well as rising temperatures caused by global climate change. Iraq, facing temperatures well over 50 degrees, is the fifth most vulnerable country in the world to climate collapse according to the UN. The conditions have already forced tens of thousands to migrate within the last years, and likely will render the first place that humans cultivated, unlivable if nothing is done to secure the flow of water into the marshes.
