So the photograph I would like to talk about today, it’s a photo I talk of Dubai City when I was at Portfolio. So 2 years ago, when I visited Dubai, for the first time in the year, I visited North Khalifa with my family. So when we arrived to the highest point in the building, we had the chance to see the view of Dubai. So seeing that to fuel and all the light and night and how small the building were in Even though they were a sky’s chambers and high and really high building, made me realize how small we were compared to this big word, and how The things we worried about is silly things that might be for getting less than 10 years. Actually, the first one was showing all the city, and with my little brother in it, he was fifteen at the side, and he in assisted to be here. But when I took this photo, I didn’t realize how much will be used to me. I took it because I wanted something to remember that moment. Something that when I saw it, I could remind myself of the feeling of the ID I have. So till today, every time you see the same photo, I remember the same I thea that came to my mind. That’s Am I that’s small?

The photograph I'd like to talk about is one I took in Dubai. It was taken two years ago during a trip to the Burj Khalifa with my family. When we reached the observation deck at the top, we were treated to a breathtaking view of the city. Seeing the sprawling cityscape, all lit up at night, with the buildings seeming so small despite their immense height, made me realize how insignificant we are in the grand scheme of things. It made me question the importance of the things we worry about, realizing that many of them are trivial and will likely be forgotten in a few years. The photo captures the entire city, with my younger brother, who was fifteen at the time, standing beside me. He was so excited to be there. I took the photo because I wanted to preserve that moment, to have something to remind me of the feeling I had at that time. Every time I look at it, I'm transported back to that moment, and I remember the awe I felt. It makes me think, 'Are we really that small?'
