I started this project to tell a story of the city I lived in for 7 years, the city I loved, I miss, I can never come back to. My memories do not fade with time, but get more and more prominent and painful. Just like my feelings towards the city which become more and more complicated.
The project offers the spectator to think if it is at all possible for one to return to a place he knew well and loved truly, but then abandoned with regrets. Is there such a place in reality? Or does it exist only in one’s mind? Is it still a spot on a map, or is it already one’s idea of the paradise lost? Does the city created of nostalgia and regrets have something in common with the real city?
UAE
With this small selection of photos I’d like to pay homage to the South-Eastern tip of Arabian Peninsula and, on the other hand, share the unusual and less-known beauty of the Country. The focus of my research was to show the ordinary from a different point of view and make it more than ordinary through abstraction.
Snapshot repetition, dramatic skies, central focus, warm colors and a bit of exotic: these are the ingredients for the Unusual Arab Emirates, a country that is much more than common thought.

This ongoing project utilizes reflections to defamiliarize water bodies. The resulting abstract imagery holds personal significance due to all the narratives I can perceive within it.
Dezavo
Raine Roberts
Dezavo is a nickname given to me. It's a phonetic spelling of the Greek pronunciation of déjà vu. In Greek, déjà vu, is the commonly known phenomenon of experiencing something before, as well as an adjective -- to describe a certain trait of a person. A person who has a great sense of direction but no sense of time. This ongoing project is inspired by these moments without a time stamp, of time spent wandering. The people, the objects, the spaces -- poetically misplaced. Compounding space and objects not in use. Something we think we've seen before, or will again soon.
