Departed Soul (Incense Burner)

Part of ASBAR / أصبر, 2026

ASBAR / أصبر (2026)

A site-responsive installation staged within an abandoned Neo-Islamic villa in Al Wakrah, Qatar.

The project constructs a psychological architecture shaped by interrupted belonging, where material, body, and environment remain in states of suspension.

Selected Work

OUD ABAYA

A garment constructed through embedded agarwood, shifting the abaya from clothing into a site of accumulation and burden.

Oud, historically valued as “black gold,” is displaced from scent into mass, present, visible, and carried.

The abaya no longer functions through wearability, but through endurance.
