Mustafah Abdulaziz has spent years
documenting humanity’s relationship to a precious natural resource: water.
This installment of Abdulaziz’s Water series focuses on the
photographer’s home state of California, which has been in the grip of a record,
multi-year drought. Abdulaziz has illustrated California’s natural and man-made
terrain with dramatic landscape shots, alongside humanistic scenes highlighting
how the region has been challenged by scarcity.
