Poetess Nasra Al Adawi and Omani Photographer Yarub Al Bakry have collaborated in organizing this charity exhibition in aid of Oman Charitable Organization.

‘Thought Droplets: Haiku touches’ is an exhibition where two artistic media – poetry and photography – mingle. The exhibition features Haiku poetry, which is a Japanese poetic form that’s been embraced by many languages around the world. Haiku carries powerful emotions within a space of a few short lines and instills an appreciation of nature.

The appreciation of nature has been translated visually through Yarub’s digital photography. Just as Yarub uses his lens to inject nature’s magic into his photographs, the Oman Charitable Organization has made it its mission to breathe optimism into the lives of those who have lost hope, providing sustenance to those afflicted with misery whether caused by natural or other disasters in the Sultanate of Oman and abroad.

This exhibition, while saluting the mission of Oman Charitable Organization, celebrates the healing touch of nature in all its beauty, with the additional appeal of spoken and silent poetry.
