I like this one a lot. To me, it looks as though this man may be a migrant worker brought in for the construction and expansion of the tall buildings that dominate the Abu Dhabi skyline. He looks tired and hot, and disallusioned. As if he had been working very hard, and he's not enjoying life because his life is all work and although he's helping build beautiful apartments, he doesn't live in good conditions.
