A Palestinian born in Kuwait and based in the UAE, much of Tarek Al-Ghoussein's work deals with how his identity is shaped in a context of inaccessibility and loss. In many of his photographs, the artist is dwarfed by a vast desert landscape, reconstructing allegories for the obstacles, barricades and walls erected in the Occupied Territories.

The book includes a foreword by Jack Persekian as well as multiple commissioned essays by several key writers: Hamid Dabashi, Emily Jacir, Suzanne Cotter, Antonia Carver and Kevin Mitchell, and contains biographies of the artist and contributors.
