Manal Al Dowayan’s Nostalgia Takes Us to Sea but Desire Keeps Us from the Shore (2010) uses a poetic verse of the same title by Saudi poet Ghazi Al Gosaibi which addresses the state of being “in-between”. Manal has rendered in neon and layered onto a photographic image of two different locations of the same bridge.
