Key Projects

• Eyes of Visionaries - This brooch is a golden ode to Qatar’s journey, traced through the eyes of its leaders. From the steady gaze of Sheikh Abdullah, who laid the nation’s foundations with wisdom and faith, rises the determined vision of Sheikh Khalifa, widening Qatar’s horizons with reform and modernization. Above it, the bold outline of Sheikh Hamad arcs forward like a surge of energy, embodying ambition and the power to transform. At the crest, Sheikh Tamim’s balanced eye completes the form with clarity, composure, and continuity… a steady flame guiding the present into the future. Together, the four eyes flow as one, layered in harmony like waves of time, like wings in ascent. They symbolize not only the guardianship of Qatar’s past but also the unbroken line of vision carrying the nation toward tomorrow. Forged in gold, this brooch is more than ornament: it is a story of heritage, leadership, and the eternal vigilance of a people’s destiny. The brooch has received great attention being exhibited in Fire Station during the exhibition Portals Influx as a string of episodes during Qatar Creates events. Visited and applauded by Sheikha Al Mayassa for my vision and historical soul to the created pieces.
• Sidra Rise - This necklace, sculpted in radiant green agate, pays homage to the flourishing era of His Highness Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani when Qatar rooted itself in knowledge, stretched toward innovation, and bloomed in prosperity, all beneath the calm canopy of leadership that prioritized dignity, unity, and peace. The green was no accident. Each stone was carefully crafted to mirror the true shade of the Sidra trees that grow from Qatar’s soil; a color of wisdom, resilience, and renewal. Under this green, a generation was nurtured, ideas found soil, and the horizon grew wide with promise. Like the Sidra itself, he offered shelter without demand, shade to minds, peace to hearts, and rise to a nation.
• Mona Lisa's Soul - The Divine Imprint - Mona Lisa’s Eye Revealed. 1 piece, 22 in diameter made of 18k yellow gold. For the first time, her eye print, the unique signature of her soul; has been recognized, honored, and brought to life in gold. Leonardo da Vinci, ever meticulous, never forgot to draw this silent imprint within her eye, a sacred detail that holds a deeper, divine truth beyond the gaze. Through patient study and masterful craft, this imprint is engraved into radiant yellow gold, revealing the hidden language of her soul. This eye is not merely to be seen; it is to be understood, a timeless emblem of identity, mystery, and divine presence. Here lies a profound connection, where art, science, and spirit converge, bringing the Mona Lisa’s essence into the light of new discovery.
• Here Begins History And Here It Never End - The project is a 2 meters high and 90 centimeters wide column handmade of clay. In ancient times, cylinder seals carried identity; rolled across clay to leave a mark, a story, a truth. This column revives that sacred ritual, not with symbols, but with the eye prints of souls; each one a living seal, a divine signature. For the eye is the face of the soul, and the soul has seen what came before time. Qatar, in its essence, was always known by its Creator, by its destiny. Through its leaders, its people, its timeless spirit, this nation rises not by chance, but by design. Now, this column stands as a witness to a new kind of civilization, one of souls awakened, reading the present as if it were written before creation. This is not just history; it is the impression of eternity, finally made visible.
• We Are Art: Godly Art, Etched to Stay Forever. - 10 x 10 cm brass canvases. As a gesture of recognition that reaches beyond conventional forms of acknowledgment, I sought to honor the essence - the very soul of individuals. In doing so, I paid tribute to the CEO of QM and the directors of the museums under one umbrella by engraving their unique eye prints into precious metal. Each imprint captures a fragment of their identity, preserving not only their presence but the depth of their contributions. Through this act, their efforts are transformed into something enduring etched in metal, carried forward in time as a mark of gratitude and reverence for the remarkable spirits behind the work. This gesture was warmly received and applauded by Sheikha Al Mayassa, and the work was exhibited during Qatar Creates as part of Portals Influx, where it stood as a testament to vision, legacy, and appreciation. A striking reminder that the divine masterpiece lies not on the wall, but within you. Each engraved eye print reflects the truth that no soul is ever repeated, no gaze ever duplicated. These five impressions, cast in metal, speak the silent language of identity, reminding every viewer that their own essence is rare, sacred, and irreplaceable.
• Seals of the First Language - 4 inches long X 2 inches wide brass cylinder seals. The moment eye language takes form, a link between ancient communication and future preservation
