Shamal is dedicated to perseverance.
The inspiration came from the character of the pearl fisher.
There is a moment in the desert that leaves observer totally owe: when the night becomes day and the sky take on shades from black to blue. Breathtaking.
The pearl fisherman is lying on his back and enjoying his view of the starry sky. It is his watch as lookout, pirates could attack in every moment, raiding this slender boat loaded with pears and cloths, undoing all the hard work of transporting the goods from Oman to Yemen.
The fisherman is lulled by the lapping of the waves. A sound that takes him back to his childhood, caressed by the trade wind blowing, the Shamal, the wind that has relentlessly - over
many years - shaped the dunes in the deserts. As the Shamal blows, among aromatic notes, gentle yet unceasing, bringing with it the fragrance of datesmixed with burning incense, the pearl fisherman lies there blissfully, tasting an apple as he resists that temptress, sleep.
He lapses to daydreaming, relieving his body of the day’s tiredness and reviving his spirit.
