Dawama (Spin Top) | Former Kuwaiti banknotes showed children playing historic games, one of which is Dawama. This object communicates the multinational nature of Kuwaiti culture as a trade route, where an imported game gains permanence through storytelling.

Sandcast Tableware represents the story of an individual living between different cultures and combines a sense of nostalgia, play, and probing of the meaning of objects in culture.
