Undergraduate final project
Undergraduate final project
This project was my final project for my undergraduate studies at the American University of Beirut.
Illustration and photography to tell my ambivalence with this tradition.
I told my parents story, who married arranged, and my mother's past love story,
and my struggle with the binary decision of love vs. arranged marriage.
Through different experiments in illustration, photography & mixed media,
I was able to tell the story in a non-chronological fashion, using a subversive tone to challenge
traditional expressions on wedding cards, and using fiction to follow possible scenarios that could have shaped my story differently.
This project was awarded the Creative Achievement Award by the Faculty of Engineering & Architecture in AUB.
