I am an artist and arts worker living and working on Darug and Gundungurra country. I use the pronouns she/her and was born in Lebanon.


I work with video, embroidery and digital print making with a focus on representation.
In my practice I integrate myself and close community with wider historical, political and cultural narratives - in the process casting a critical reading of the contemporary issues of interest to me.


I was awarded the Create NSW visual arts fellowship for emerging artist 2021/2022 and In 2021 I was awarded the Blake prize (emerging artist).


I work as a creative producer at Utp and have worked at SBS radio as a broadcast journalist.


My current area of interest is the relationship between cross stitch embroidery practice, the Syrian / Lebanese silk industry, capitalism and migration.
