Weaving identities aims to be a way of fixing, formalizing and manifesting personal identities, as well as giving a voice to the stories of those who straddle different cultures and making them visible, generating unique and personal pieces with the aim of representing, as accurately as possible, something as complex and abstract as one's own identity.

Through a graphic system made up of five grids, this project seeks to generate a code that, rather than being understood at first glance, is able to be decoded and associated with personal stories and experiences. In this way, in generating a system applicable to a broad range of users and identities, it is possible to create a collection of unique and personal pieces with formal and conceptual coherence, temporary pieces that depict the life and history of people at the exact time they were created.

A personal project inspired by the artist’s self-questioning and Arabic heritage and which takes its form from the structural and formal skeleton of traditional Middle Eastern carpets, which are highly significant pieces in terms of the religion, the identity and culture of Arab countries.
