The artworks of this talented UAE artist represent an integrated, dimensional world in which several components are aligned: artist combines textile material used in the Emirates during 1940s and ’50s with traditional elements and models from the UAE cultural milieu that are no longer used, that together contribute to the creation of an interactive artwork.
