genius in a bottle
After creating my ‘play’ The Girl Who Lost Her Head, I was inspired to do more of these ‘exploration’ shots. My girls are mischievous so you can only imagine the trouble they get into. Read More

lil’ ol’ me in my lil’ ol’ home in lil’ ol’ kuwait. it’s best to see it in context but if you don’t want to click on the link below, this is the photo
So I was reading the news on the BBC World website last night and as always I went to the photo section. Immediately my eyes caught the ‘Your Photos’ section. Then I saw ‘Your Pictures of 2013’ subtitled (because it matters to me) ‘A selection of the best readers’ photos’. Immediately my heart sank because I’m used to not being popular, viral or whatever it is that makes you king in this world. Against my better judgment I went to the section and just scrolled through the photos. Needless to say that when I spotted my photo there was a scream, an applause, an e-mail to a friend and three phone calls to three special children. It’s not every day, people! Not every day…

I didn’t realize what a burden the year 2013 was on me until I woke up this morning to a new year. There is something so sweet about an even number, I can’t explain it. Odd numbers seem pointy and angular. They’re unfriendly, unlucky and just plain bad news. So happy new year, everyone! Read More
my fourteen for 2013

cottages, fruit and submersion
So I didn’t celebrate Christmas and I think New Year’s is over-rated, but you know what? I’m not going to sit this one out. As self-important as it is, I shamelessly present my top fourteen posts for 2013. I chose these for different reasons; some because I love the work, others because they remind me of good times, and some because of new discoveries. And a few I had to include simply because they were my most popular (and I don’t have many of those). So think of this as my way of both reminiscing and boasting. Read More

I had a lovely morning with my niece Yasmeen yesterday. We went to Jarir bookstore and each walked out with one bag, one canvas and a gift certificate. We went to mine where she drew and I painted. Does it get better than that on a Saturday morning? Read More

x marks the spot
and when you step back
This is a bit of a random post. Well, the post itself focuses on the creation of a space and what happens when you step back and see that space in context. It’s about the transformation of everyday objects into something new, a re-definition of what an object’s conventional job is. And then there’s a video. And Jack White. And it’s just that sort of day. Happy Friday 13th! Read More

Here’s a song for today: Kate Bush ‘King of the Mountain’. Because it’s windy outside.
