Beautiful Bits from Bahrain

We went for a wedding in Bahrain over the weekend and of course during the day, we did some sightseeing and just chilled around. Bahrain is such a cozy and a beautiful country, the people who we have met during our quick trip were very genuine, humble and welcoming. Must make it a point to visit Bahrain at least once a year. Scroll down for some art inspo...

One of my quick stop in Bahrain was Al Riwaq Art Space, a not-for-profit space supporting contemporary art practices in Bahrain. Saudi Duo Basma and Noura Bouzo created this art installation called Al Maha. 15 limited edition pieces of oryx balloon sculptures to mirror the effect of the Terracotta Army (246 BCE). It is also a re-imaging of the work of Jeff Koons. The artist were exploring the copy/paste syndrome, which reminded me of the topic discussed by Nuqat Foundation during their last event.

Pictured above is Henna with patterns inspired by high end logos, like this one of Chanel's, it was on display At Al Riwaq Art Space and titled "Luxury Henna' by artist Eric Parnes.

This beautiful art installation is by Bahraini artist Adel AlAbbasi. He used old cassette tapes and drew a portrait of legendary Egyptian singer Umm Kalthoum.

Another beautiful art installation is by Bahraini artist Adel AlAbbasi, he crafted the Arabic letter Noon using locks.

Miu Miu Pays Tribute to the Middle East

Everyone who knows me, knows that I have a soft spot for bag charms. They're fun, cute, and add a dose of irresistible character to your plain handbag. So when I got the news about Miu Miu paying tribute to the Middle Eastern culture by presenting an exclusive playful yet multifunctional accessories in luxurious precious skin, I got excited intrigued. The round-shaped charms has the Arabic alphabet, each piece presenting a letter design with metallic hues and vibrant colors. They're cute, nothing groundbreaking. I'm not sure if these bags charms would step up my bag charms game, but I guess it depends on their price tag and how "exclusively" exclusive they are. Maybe they'll grow on me? I don't know... What do you think? The charms should be available exclusively in Miu Miu Boutiques throughout our region.
