This project, created during the Timothy Allen Photography Scholarship Award (TAPSA) 2018 at Sharjah Port, explores the lives of Indian, Bangladeshi, and Pakistani workers united by shared goals. In the confined space of boats, they forge bonds of friendship and camaraderie, transcending the political tensions between their countries. Through their stories, they reveal a universal truth: survival and family come before politics. "Our colleagues are our friends, our family on this boat," they say, emphasizing the power of human connection in the face of adversity. The project captures their resilience and humanity, offering a rare glimpse into lives shaped by labor, hope, and unity.
