The series of 198 drawings evenly divided between men and women - the series include, women with necklaces, men in checkered shirts and women in veils. Her artists statement on this series said:
As a result of living in Saudi Arabia, a country that forbid any use of public photographic/video documentation, the only images permissible were that of the passport photo. As a woman, I was only able to leave the city and travel within the country with written permission from my father and the accompaniment of an Iqama or in-country passport. Consequently, the passport photo not only identified me but came to represent the opportunity to exist as a somewhat free individual.
