This photographic exploration of Buraydah and the wider Qaseem region documents a landscape where everyday urban life unfolds alongside traces of history and transformation. Traveling across Buraydah and its surroundings, I focused on civic landmarks, markets, neighborhoods, and evolving public spaces—capturing a region that reflects both continuity and change. The images, taken with my professional digital medium-format Fujifilm GFX100S, emphasize texture, scale, and atmosphere, revealing the architectural character of Qaseem’s towns and landscapes. From historic districts to newer institutional buildings, the series records a built environment shaped by heritage, modernization, and everyday use.

The Buraydah–Qaseem series is structured in two parts. Part One focuses on Buraydah itself, documenting the Eskan public housing neighborhood, the historic center, the Jardah market, and the King Fahd Mosque—sites that collectively capture the city’s social life, architectural continuity, and civic identity. Part Two moves outward into the surrounding region, exploring an abandoned military school from the 1940s near Ar-Rass set in the desert landscape, the village of Oyoun al-Jawa, the city’s regional museum, and its iconic futuristic water tower—an infrastructural landmark symbolizing contemporary ambitions. Together, these locations present Qaseem as a layered territory where heritage settlements, mid-century interventions, and modern infrastructure coexist within a rapidly evolving regional landscape.
