Beyond the Islands: Stories of Migrant Workers

This series features portraits of migrant workers helping to land and package blue crabs on the Nurana Islands — two artificial islands off the coast of Bahrain, located just west of the capital. The workers photographed here are from Bangladesh, India, Uganda, and Kenya. Each one sends money back to their families while living on modest means themselves. These images aim to acknowledge their presence, labour, and quiet resilience — often overlooked but deeply embedded in the daily rhythms of island life.
