About Usf :
Usf Sherif is an Egyptian photographer whose practise combines the use of fashion and fine art photography. Reinterpreting a scene described in an astronaut's diary, Sherif aims to represent the psychological status of isolation affecting human being: "I was showcased this through a picture of an astronaut standing alone on planet Mars, and I felt the emotional pain that was caused to him by being all alone during his solo trip". This picture, taken in Wadi Degla Protectore, is a clear example of his work as he comments: "I decided to portray the inevitable fact that no matter how much we try to avoid people or socialising, we never seem to succeed. We're social creatures and we can't escape that fact.
