FOR VEGAS
Using the visual and cultural iconography of Las Vegas - a city whose roots were founded as a waystation, a temporary stop for so many over its storied history - For Vegas is a poem for and about a city and its culture as told through the eyes and heart of a traveler, a migrant, a seeker of truths (Egyptian writer Ahmed Naji who was accused in 2015 of referencing "transient lust and fleeting pleasure" in his novel and sentenced to two years in prison).
