Shamal

One night when the desert wind blows.

Shamal is dedicated to perseverance. The inspiration comes from the character of the pearl fisherman. There is a moment in the desert that leaves the observer totally subjugated: when night becomes day and the sky takes on shades from black to blue. Breathtaking. The pearl fisherman is lying on his back and enjoying the view of the starry sky. It's his turn to watch, pirates can attack at any moment, breaking into that agile boat loaded with pearls and precious fabrics, frustrating all the hard work of transporting goods from Oman to Yemen.

The fisherman is lulled by the lapping of the waves, a sound that brings him to his childhood, caressed by the Shamal, the wind that relentlessly - for many years - has shaped the dunes in the deserts. While the Shamal blows, sweet but incessant, bringing with it the scent of dates mixed with the burning incense, the pearl fisherman lies there blissfully, savouring fruit while resisting tempting sleep. He finds himself daydreaming, relieving his body from the tiredness of the day and reviving his spirit. [#created] Created By [/created]
