An Accessory - 2014

Digital Collage on Wheat Paste

The artwork tackles the notion of "Mehrem" or Chaperon in our society. As a religious necessity, the idea of having a male chaperon/ company with the lady (someone who is from her family, like a father or a brother or uncle or husband) was mainly set as one of the Muslim's everyday-life rules as a way of taking care of ladies and respecting them in many levels. The notion of "mehrem" can reach to an extreme, where it is just a signature on paper proving that a "mehrem" approves of a lady traveling on her own without him having to disturb his daily schedule. 

 A delicate necessity and a gesture of respect, tuned into an accessory a lady should get whether her chaperon is being a mighty chaperon, or a silent lamb.

Nostalgia - 2012

Digital Illustration on Wheat Paste

The work resembles few memorable shots from a classic Gulf T.V shows (“Rgayya o Sabeecha”, and "Ala Al-denya Al-salam"). These shows represents part of the collective memory of the region, the performance and the content are one of the great aspects lacking in TV Culture nowadays. The location is a building has just been knocked down where only traces of some walls left.

 

We Have Different Flavours - 2011

Art Installation

Manama is a city of craftsmanship merchandise, food, spices... A promenade for the young and the old, the local and the expat...
In the heart of Manama you will find the mosque, the church, and the temple all weaved together in a wider web that shelter people from all walks of life.

The piece represents the colorful communities in Manama through the different colors like the one seen in the spice market. Language is represented through sacks of letters as a metaphor for the Arabian, English, Persian and Urdu communities of Manama.
