“Oasis” is a series focusing on Azraq, a once vast oasis in the arid Jordanian desert. However, since the 1960s the wetlands have suffered an ecological disaster due to excessive pumping of water to support the growing population of Amman. Using collage and acrylic paint on canvas, Doug Adams conveys the oasis and reflects upon the disappearance of that natural environment.
