AlMoosawi’s series represents an important transition in his practice, from documenting temporary structures to those of more permanence. Nevertheless, his work still revels in colour and informal representations of the United Arab Emirates’ urban identity, which takes him to many industrial and urban clusters.

This series pays homage to the architectural qualities of buildings adorned with split units. A building’s climate forms its exterior; central AC units are tucked on the rooftop or the ground, whereas window AC units protrude on the outside like boxes. Split unit systems add a gentle geometric touch wherever they’re installed, owing to their nicely detailed discharge vents.
