The House with the Light
A series of pictures of a house built in Medinah next to the Prophet’s Holy Mosque at the destruction area, where houses are being abandoned by their people for the purpose of expanding the Prophet’s Holy Mosque. Shoug Sagur went exploring and meeting families living there, asking questions and documenting their houses before they're moved.
This project is very close to her heart, she says, since her grandfather's house who passed away was one of the houses within the destruction area. Understanding architecture and how it effects people in this project really helped her develop what she was taking in school since I'm majoring in architecture. It opened her eyes on how photography, a form of art, is related to architecture and how architecture is related to us and our homes, our feelings and memories, and, somehow, allowing us to keep these memories of the houses and the dear people who used to live there once.
