MUSTAFAH ABDULAZIZ
New York born and Berlin-based photographer Mustafah Abdulaziz (b. 1986) has devoted over a decade of his life to capturing the compelling narrative of climate change's profound impact on humanity. Abdulaziz has meticulously documented global water issues through his ongoing Water series. This ambitious project explores diverse regions, from the arid landscapes of Somalia to Brazilian river basins, Pakistani city centers, China’s Yangtze River, and California's brushlands. Through large-scale installations, Abdulaziz brings these critical narratives to the forefront, delving beneath the surface of the world’s most vital resource—water—offering a remarkable perspective on humanity's connection with this indispensable element. His notable achievements include the prestigious Leica Oskar Barnack Award, support from National Geographic, and fellowships from the Alicia Patterson and Bertha Foundations.
