Having never visited Iraq, the image I had in my head was a land ruined by a war that took over the country for over a decade. But going through these pictures, the beauty of Iraq has left me breathless and with a yearning to visit this magnificent country.

Ahmadi Oil Fields, Kuwait, 1991 Sandwiched between blackened sand and sky, camels search for untainted shrubs and water in the burning oil fields of southern Kuwait.  Their desperate foraging reflects the environmental plight of a region ravaged by the gulf war. Canby, Thomas Y. (August 1991). "The first Gulf War taught us a new lesson in unconventional conflict. Saddam Hussain's army filled the skies of southern Kuwait with black poignant smoke from the burning oil lines.  It was a powerful, debilitating symbol. And there was another.  McCurry, who was covering the war, saw camels running in terror from the fires.  Both images -whether of the fires or of the animals- were powerful representations of the chaos of that time.  Central to McCurry's reputation as a journalist is his discipline to wait, and to search, and then to recognize the most telling image.  The juxtaposition of the fire and smoke and camels running amok creates an icon of that war." - Phaidon 55 National Geographic, Vol. 180, No. 2, 2-3, 2005, August 1991, The Persian Gulf: After the Storm, Phaidon, 55, Iconic Images, final book_iconic, final print_milan

A kid at heart, Nada Kabil finds herself a little in all forms of art. As a kid her main dream was to be a writer. She studied product design and finds herself attracted to anything she can unleash her creativity in and express herself, be it, art, design or writing. Making her laugh or putting her up to a challenge is just one of the many ways of making her day.
