Event: Waraq: A Paper Based Art Exhibition

Earlier tonight I passed by Bayt Lothan to check out Visual Therapy's 2nd art show titled Waraq, a paper based art exhibition by a group of talented local artists such as Deena Qabazard, F160, Shahad Al Asfoor, Wael Al Khars, and Mohammed Al Kouh.

Waraq seeks to explore the unconventional use of the paper medium. You'll see different and unique techniques used including cutting, folding, and even carving. Different paper based items, such as newspaper, are also utilized. Through this, Waraq intends to reexamine the identity of the paper medium revealing its potential to take on a variety of forms. I'm familiar with the creative work done by Deena Qabazard and F160, however the rest of the artists were new to me, I especially loved Shahad Al Asfoor's work, shown in the photo above. The attention to detail is just mind-blowing, I felt the amount of time and effort put in making these pieces is just insane. Definitely worth checking out.

Tomorrow is the last day for Waraq exhibition at Bayt Lothan, located in Salmiya, Kuwait.

Altuzarra or Aquazzura?

That is the question. It took me a whole season to finally tell these two brands apart, and this season, there's no mistake, each brand is now engraved in my fashion database like a personalized Tiffany's pen. And this Resort 2015 season, I'm head over heels with their flats, on display now at AlOthman Boutique . Altuzarra's version comes in a tonal-gray water snake and are decorated with beige shells, red beads and silver sequins. Aquazzura's lace-up sandals come in a beautiful shade of apple green, and will work with white or bright colored casual summer outfit.  After much thought and sole-searching, I have decided to go for the  Altuzarra   sandals. They're safely stored in my closet, waiting for the dust and the cold to go away.  Which pair would you go for?

To New Beginnings...

"What did this Corona crisis teach you?" my friend asked. My first thought was thing crisis has opened my eyes on the simple pleasures of life. My priorities have changed. And I feel every day is a new beginning. First of all, it made me realize how much I miss blogging. How simple and mentally satisfying it was to jolt down my thoughts on a field that I was very passionate about. I have to admit that I'm not as passionate now. Don't get me wrong, I still like fashion, but it's now on the bottom of my priorities list. I would like to blog about other things too that I feel much related to. I recently discovered that I do enjoy cooking. For the longest time, cooking to me was a nightmare.  This corona crisis has taught us that we can look forward to a new day with new possibilities to contribute or to help another, or to simply approach things differently, and most importantly to make the most of each day we have and share that goodness with others.
