2oronful Wedding Necklace
Year: 2025
Materials + process:Clove necklace made by soaking cloves in water, stringing them with needle and thread, and arranging with beads.
This is a traditional Palestinian gift for a bride on her wedding day. It is believed that the smell wards off evil eye, and is a good luck charm in marriage. The clove water is also used traditionally to wash the bride before her wedding, and to spray on wedding guests as a protection against 7asad.

Jesus Calendar [2023]
2023
11”x17"
This piece was made in reference to the yearly calendars published by Al Hakeem Printing press. These calendars are fixtures of many homes in Nazareth, they live on the walls of every home I’ve ever lived in- often displaying the January page year round. In 2023, the way I felt time shifted dramatically, and the way I perceived the future began to resemble the perpetual January of the calendar. It was as though each day was a year. This work was a way for me to reflect on this time, attempt to etch it into something more permanent than paper. The work was made by etching into tooling foil.
