Questions

What is your current career stage and what can help you unlock your next level?
Board member of 7AWI Media Group: 7awi is a leading and independent digital platform, owning and operating more than 15 portals covering all interests reaching over 15 million monthly visitors and over 60 million social followers Art: My family and I have been collecting Syrian modern and contemporary art since the early 60s. In 2018, we curated an exhibition in collaboration with Christie’s Dubai, focusing on the life and works of Syrian artist Fateh Moudarres . The exhibition featured 86 pieces from our private collection, complemented by a screening of the only documentary ever made with and on the artist, which was produced by my late father in 1995. In 2023 I curated an exhibition for Syrian Artist Sabhan Adam “Creatures Sublimes” , celebrating individuality breaking away from the norms of modern societal expectations. Currently, I am working on creating an immersive experience rather than a conventional exhibition. My goal is to reconnect the audience with the true essence of art, evoking that unexplainable ‘coup de foudre’ with an artwork. This endeavor aims to dispel the elitist misconceptions surrounding art, often expressed through statements like “I can’t afford art,” “I don’t understand art,” or “I’m not fond of it, but they say it’s a great investment.” Fashion: In 2019, I founded a Dubai-based brand named Le Marais 101. LM101 offers an exclusive line of accessories, all handmade in the UAE. Our products are designed to customize, embellish, and elevate the appearance of any handbag. Our concept revolves around the idea of not always buying the latest bag from a brand, but how to make each piece that you own, different and effortlessly distinctive. Currently, our products are available for purchase at various retail locations, including Bloomingdales Dubai, Lafayette Dubai, Printemps Haussmann Paris, and numerous other multi-brand concept stores. I strongly believe that there’s untapped potential for this brand to do better. Currently, I’m struggling with the challenge of identifying a new product category to infuse LM101 with fresh energy and appeal. I’m keen on steering the brand towards a more trend-forward direction, whether it’s through innovative fashion pieces or stylish home accessories. My goal is to explore new avenues and concepts that resonate with our audience, aligning with current trends and consumer preferences.
Why would you want to join 1833/١٨٣٣?
I want to be a member of 1833 because in general and despite being surrounded by an amazing network of people, I often feel like I'm struggling alone. It seems like everyone around me is doing great, while I'm feeling confused lost and intimidated. I'm unsure of where to turn for support and guidance. But after reading the manifesto, I am even more certain why I want to be part of this community. Every single word resonated with my deepest values and aspirations: Love, Unity, Responsibility, Transparency, Vulnerability, and Authenticity. As someone who values collaboration and innovation, I see immense potential in being part of a community dedicated to dismantling barriers and cultivating a vibrant network of like-minded individuals where we can all contribute significantly to the community by sharing our own experiences, insights, and resources. Whether it’s through mentorship, workshops, or creative collaborations, I am committed to adding value and fostering a supportive environment where we can all thrive professionally and personally. Overall, I am eager to immerse myself in the dynamic ecosystem of the 1833 community, utilizing my membership to forge meaningful connections, drive innovation, and contribute to the collective growth and success of all members involved.
What are your creative interests? How do you spend your free time?
I’m in between three worlds. One that I love: Art One that I enjoy: Media and content creation One that I struggle with: fashion I enjoy dancing and listening to music I love reading philosophy , going to art exhibitions and music performances I am a passionate thinker, I love exploring new ideas challenging the status quo, and gaining new realizations about myself and my society. I thrive on creating concepts rather than tangible objects
