About

Mo Badawi is a photographer and visual artist based between Virginia and Washington, D.C.

His work is drawn to the human condition — the quiet gestures, the solitary figures, the passages between what was and what comes next. He photographs the spaces that contain us, and the small scale of the people who move through them.

He came to photography after a visit to the Toronto Reference Library, where the architecture of the space — its geometry, light, and stillness — made him want to hold onto what he was seeing. Much of the work that followed has been a continuation of that impulse: to look at what is ordinary until it is not.

His photographs have been made across Europe, the Middle East, Asia, and the United States.
