The Dog Sat Where We Parted
by Mahmoud Khattab
“The Dog Sat Where We Parted is a photography book: a visual narrative of my time in conscription as I ventured into the desert as a soldier with a dog, a head shaved and a camouflage that appealed to sand. Questioning times of following orders and sharing a plate and a story with strangers who dressed and shaved their heads just like me. Through photographs discretely taken together with journal writings, I echoed my solitude as I pay my debt to a country with servitude of my body and time.”
