On June 11, 2025, The National published a full-length feature titled “Acrobatic spinner dolphin found in The Gulf waters inspires sculpture on show at Christie’s Dubai”, spotlighting my work Spinning Dolphin Stool. The article highlights:
• The inspiration behind the piece: aluminum cans found along the mangroves of Qeshm Island during COVID lockdown
• The sustainable design process—3D-printed prototype, mould-making, and recycled aluminium casting
• My broader ambition to expand the collection, placing benches and sculptural streetlights inspired by Gulf marine life into public spaces .
• Reflection on environmental responsibility and cultural heritage tied to the Gulf’s history of life through the sea .
This national coverage underscores how my work resonates at the intersection of art, ecology, and regional identity.
