Adorned Narratives
In collaboration with Villa 88 Magazine and Al Fardan Fine Jewelry - y.2022
This body of work is an exploration of jewelry as both ornament and storytelling vessel. Through art direction and collage, the pieces are reimagined within landscapes of desert, stone, and architecture—settings that echo the timeless spirit of the UAE.
The star-shaped motifs and cascading pearls of Al Fardan Fine Jewelry are not merely accessories but emblems of memory, heritage, and elegance. Set against natural rock formations and traditional forms, the jewels become luminous guardians of tradition; in surreal collaged spaces, they transform into windows of imagination, suspended between reality and dream.
This collaboration bridges craftsmanship and vision—celebrating the artistry of jewelry while situating it in the broader narrative of place, identity, and cultural continuity.
