The "Window to the Past" Perspective These works function as a visual archive, preserving the historical identity of Bahrain as the "Island of a Million Palm Trees". By focusing on the rhythmic verticality of soaring date palms and the reflective surfaces of traditional aflaj (irrigation canals), Hamza captures a vanishing landscape before the era of modern urbanization. The use of converging diagonal perspectives—where the path and water meet at a central point—serves as a metaphorical invitation for the viewer to return to their ancestral roots.
