Unfinished is a series of photographs taken in the so-called Middle East, where photography has traditionally seen an abundance of work with a focus on architecture, particularly ruins and archaeological sites. 

Departing from the usual forms and structures, and disassociating from any any ‘orientalist’ aspects, Unfinished was shot in buildings under construction: uncompleted and unremarkable monuments, shown with little context, but photographed in a way to emphasise the theatricality of these bare spaces.
