For days, people amble past Civil Architecture's thought-provoking installation, a floodlight illuminating a dying palm grove in Adliya. To draw in passersby, Camille Zakharia & Ali Karimi organize a portrait session where subjects sit on a chair against a backdrop painted by Mohammed Sharkawi for the event. 

This impromptu session grew into a collaborative ritual between the art & design community of the region. Each session, varying in its combination of subject, chair, and backdrop, reveals the breadth and complexity of Bahrain's community.
