The Purpose Issue rollout isn’t over just yet – say hello to our fourth and last cover star
@azizzlll . In his photography, time folds in on itself. The past, with its muted pastels and hazy textures, converges with the sharpness of the present, creating what he describes as a “nostalgic and futuristic utopia.” His work feels like slipping into a dreamscape where eras blur, and each photograph is an invitation to drift between decades. Al-Hosni’s images pulse with an ‘80s and ‘90s glow, yet they’re unanchored from a specific time, embodying a delicate balance between old and new, the familiar and the uncharted.
His latest exhibition,
@qalbmahmood (قلب محمود) in partnership with
@wepresent and
@melkwegexpo , Al-Hosni brings together an array of images that explore the vast landscape of love, in all its complexities. The photographs, drenched in vivid colors and layered textures, feel like snapshots of a world where time holds its breath. “The balance of each aesthetic allows me to create a nostalgic and futuristic utopia,” Al-Hosni explains. “When I look at older photographs, I get a feeling that allows me to travel between times.”
