Lorraine Field: At the Edge of Infinity

Featured are photographs which were taken in the Syrian Desert before the uprising and civil war that began in 2011. Lorraine began visiting Syria in 2004 to photograph various projects and it was through her constant guide, Ghassan Al Salah who interpreted the language, customs, and landscape that she came to an understanding of desert life. These photographs approach the sensibility of the memory she retains of that place and the people who are shaped by the desert landscape which she experienced as a visual representation of infinity.
