Other crescents other moons is an innovative on-going series consisting of landscapes based on individual memories. When visiting a new place, Qureshi posts an advertisement asking individuals to donate a written or verbal memory, which he then interprets into a landscape. When reproducing these landscapes, Qureshi skilfully weaves his own vision onto the memory without interfering with its content. As such, the origins and ownership of the memory is called into question, leading the viewer to explore the nature of perception and reality. As Qureshi states: “Many of us have left a certain place or even homeland behind, the vividness of which is etched in our memories. With other crescents other moons I will capture these memories, side by side, creating a continuum.”
