“I am honoured to be selected for Abu Dhabi Art’s Beyond: Emerging Artists programme this year. I am also excited to work with Abu Dhabi Art – we have had very fruitful conversations in our brainstorming sessions together and came up with great ideas to develop. In my work, I find myself studying borders as a concept, content and medium, by exploring geopolitics and social and environmental issues. I find myself rethinking the term ‘digital cartography’ and the meaning behind cartography in general. I hope to produce works that investigate the idea of borders in depth, dismantling and questioning the idea of these lines that divides us. I usually begin with ideas and concepts, which then guide my process towards discovering the most appropriate means and mediums of creation.”

“I appreciate the support Abu Dhabi Art has been providing to the artist community here in the UAE and for giving us space to not only showcase our work locally but also beyond. New perspectives and insights from the international curators brought on board by Abu Dhabi Art are extremely helpful. Abu Dhabi Art and I have been having interesting conversations about the individual and how feelings are translated into work and vice versa. My practice looks into the individual using mundane materials and trying to coax out their metaphorical potential.”

“I’m very excited and honoured to be a part of this year’s edition of Beyond: Emerging Artists. The support we have received so far from the Abu Dhabi Art team has helped us develop our practice even further, truly looking beyond. Being on this journey with fellow artists and friends is special and gives us a unique space to be challenged and to grow together, as both a group and individually. I’m particularly excited to work with the scale and new forms in my practice and, through the process, have it translated into an artist’s book.”
