Interdisciplinary artist, writer, and researcher based in Alexandria, Egypt. 


Currently a recipient of the TTLC Photography Mentorship Award (Through The Lens Collective, South Africa, 2025), a six-month international program focusing on photography-based research on archival narratives.


Her work combines creative writing, photography, sound, and sculpture to explore memory, industrial heritage, and social change. 

She studied veterinary medicine at Alexandria University and humanities at CILAS, and is a member of the THoR Lab (University of Bern). Her projects use archival materials and overlooked histories to connect personal narratives with broader social contexts. She seeks opportunities to contribute to collaborative research and artistic projects that bridge disciplines, connect narratives, and foster critical engagement with society and its histories.
