Murtaasha
Snaah, Resin
A resin mold, mixed with snaah, replicates the murtaasha, a traditional Emirati necklace symbolizing feminine identity and resilience. While the snaah texture evokes the essence of bridal traditions, its fragrance is locked into the cured resin, symbolizing how cultural memory can be preserved in form even when its sensory elements fade. This interplay between permanence and transience creates a tactile archive, connecting viewers to Gulf heritage and cultural narratives.

The Rest
Oil on canvas
150x120 cm
The Rest is based on a still from an original short film. It depicts four girls lying beneath palm trees, captured in a moment of collective pause. Rendered in animated, stylistic brushstrokes, the painting leans into a raw, natural rhythm, eschewing realism in favor of expressive form. The work reflects on the quiet rituals of rest, sisterhood, and the everyday intimacy found in Gulf landscapes.
