The human face has always held a unique fascination for Saleh and hence has served as inspiration for much of her work. Over the years, she has built up a photographic portfolio of hundreds of portraits of friends, colleagues and strangers.Working in a limited palette of black, blue and tan, she stresses that simplicity is key to engaging visually with the viewer and communicating her concept. The result is mesmerising.
Saleh’s work has been exhibited in Australia. Bahrain, Egypt, Greece, Kuwait, Morocco, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Spain, Switzerland and the UAE. She has received a number of awards and honorary certificates from the Ministry of Education, the Human Rights Society, Al Eskafi Society, Aseela Art Festival, and the Adhari Festival.
