"His photographs are marked by a sense of calm instilling an idea of safety. Within the confines of his frames, there is a sense of security and pleasure. Nabil's photography flirts with notions of the exotic and the erotic. The images slide seamlessly across a variety of different genres, which meld together to create a dreamlike sensual mise en scène. Operating as visual narcotics, the photographs invite the viewer into a place of transgressive otherness, a place that breaks with convention."1
