The work is a research-based project around the ecologies and topographies of seafood in Bahrain, an archipelago of 33 natural islands, which owns more water than land. The project is specifically looking at the liminal space between land and sea in which sea life exists and can be easily accessed within a walking distance. (Be it collecting ‘Huwwait’, ‘Crabs’, or ‘Fish’ from fish traps). 

This human-scale food system existed because the shallow waters in the intertidal zones allowed for this liminal space to appear and disappear, giving constant and easy access to food. As a downside, shallow waters created an incentive for reclamation because of its low costs. The ecosystem of this liminal space and its access has been disrupted after reclamation and dredging. Besides, climate change and the rise in water is threatening many of those spaces and islands in the long run. In recent years, the country has seen a shift towards fish farming, portrayed as a solution to the deterioration and declination of seafood. This food system often changes the chronological order of ecologies (seasons of food) and requires energy for it to work.

The work is experiencing this liminal space through time at AlHalat, Halab, and Karbabad village. It includes:
- A community project: A series of walks in collaboration with the fisherman Abbas AlShajjar on the seabed followed by majlises, research exchange, poetry readings, cooking, and discussions around fish, food security, human-scale food systems, industrialized food systems, and the ecosystem.
