I am Palestinian-American anthropologist, ceramicist and multidisciplinary artist currently based between Dubai and the US. Having lived between the deserts of New Mexico, Jordan, and the UAE, I completed my masters of science degree in cultural and social anthropology at the University of Amsterdam.

My work is multidisciplinary and experimental in its nature, including illustrations, ceramics, collages, sketchbooks, acrylic paintings and photographs. It has been featured in GQ Arabia, Architectural Digest Middle East, Vogue Arabia, Haya Magazine, Tribe, and Discontent Magazine, as well as in Dubai Design Week and Amman Design Week. I have done largescale murals for Dubai Design District, ICD Brookfield Place (DIFC) and 25Hours Hotel One Central (Dubai).

Playfulness is a key element throughout my creative practice; I strive to make work that is a reflection of that feeling of childish whimsy, the electric curiosity you experience when you discover something new, or wander down a street you haven’t seen before. I explore color, shape, form, texture, and a sense of spontaneous composition throughout my creative practice.

Throughout the various mediums in which I work, elements of my interests in history, anthropology, and memory emerge; I am passionate about the power of objects, photographs, and archival materials and the ability they have to tell a story through space and time.
