Currently studying MA Interior Design in Birmingham Institute of Art and Design (BIAD). Graduate assistant in University of Bahrain. Individual designer and a "beginner" artist... For I don't have many artworks to brag about... However I am eager to engage more in art and to produce my own line. Reviving a true identity of Islam in the modern world became one of my life's main goals... My final MA project is to test the hypothesis of Islam's universality and adaptability to different creative mindsets...
I was a member of the design and research team for Bahrain's international pavilion in Venice Architectural Biennale 2010 (www.reclaim.bh)
I have also contributed in TASMENA's initiative - Dubai (MENA Lab) in 2010 in which I have worked with a great team from all walks of life to produce an installation art that would reflect the distance between cultures.
Leaving design practice to be a lecturer in my home university allowed for new horizons and opportunities to develop myself and get more involved in art and design in a way to achieve my personal aspirations.
