Yemeni-Dutch visual artist who juggles the roles of an Art Director, designer, and photographer. I have a deep passion for exploring the complex relationship between people and their environments. My artistic journey is centered around capturing the essence of individuals and their distinctive life stories. I delve into the depths of their emotions, memories, and resilience as they weave through the tapestry of daily life and face its myriad challenges.
In my photography, I strive to bring to light their narratives, and in doing so, I realize that I am also uncovering my own story as a photographer. This process is a humble yet profound exploration that connects my art with the broader human experience.
Besides photography, I am also the founder of Snono Design Studio, a venture that reflects my vision as a designer. To discover more about this aspect of my work, please visit Snono.com.
