Grandma

An elongated figure in an emerald dress, a crimson shawl sweeping over her shoulder and gold bangles at her wrist, stands against a field of sky blue. Her face is concealed behind a gold burqa, the face mask once worn by Emirati women of earlier generations. The artist titled the work Grandma: a portrait of the women who carried tradition forward. It was shown at ME Dubai for Emirati Women’s Day in 2026.
