Glad to share with you a part of my work and long research :
"From the Earth to the Thread", which explores the subtle lines of influence between architecture, landscape, and Yemeni women’s clothing patterns.

In this research, I focused on four Yemeni cities, Sana’a, Aden, Taiz, and Hadramout.
Each one is distinct in its climate, geography, architecture, and landscape, shaping a unique relationship between the body, the built environment, and the patterns that inhabit daily life.

Hadramout Series..

In Hadramout, geometry becomes a form of silence, a rhythm through which the land, architecture, and clothing speak to one another.
The desert, vast and disciplined, teaches repetition; the light, sharp and measured, draws lines that define both buildings and bodies.

From this landscape of restraint emerges an aesthetic of order. The mud architecture of Hadramout, its stepped crowns, aligned openings, and carved geometric motifs, is a choreography of shadow and proportion. It mirrors the design of the Hadrami thobe, where the neckline, sleeves, and hemline trace lines of precision reminiscent of architectural cornices and ornamental borders.
The embroidery, composed of triangles, diamonds, and continuous patterns, extends this dialogue, a translation of structure into gesture, of façade into fabric.
Even the velvet texture of the thobe carries the memory of place: its folds move like dunes under the wind, its weight holds the density and endurance of desert life.
Here, geometry transcends function, it becomes a bridge between body and architecture, between earth and form, where repetition is not mere design but an act of remembrance.

Some of the photographic references used in this work come from online archives, if you recognize any authors, please let me know so I can credit them properly.

The melting pot of Egypt. Divers, sunbathers, wind surfers, Egyptians, tourists, hustlers, horse rides on the beach, Bedouins revving Land Cruisers, joints being passed in every direction, shisha being passed in every direction, people drinking tea in the sea, kids hustling you for a kayak ride, stray dogs swimming, pet dogs swimming, tawla, chess games, families snorkelling, adults learning how to swim, kite surfers doing flips 10m in the air, kite surfers doing flips 10m in the air with a local kid hanging off their back, people dancing on rooftops, others along the rocks - and some people doing it all at once.
