Ali Al Shehabi is a Bahraini visual artist working in the fields of photography and videography. Born in Bahrain but raised in the UAE, his work explores themes of identity, place and belonging. We featured his project “As I Lay Between Two Seas,” shot over the course of three years, for which he returned home to Bahrain, capturing the small Gulf nation in a vibrant new light and rediscovering his love for it as he went.
