As an arab living in NYC many of our traditions have to also adapt to out workplace. Sharing a cup of arabic coffee is how we welcome people in our homes. I found that the most disposed trash in my house were these arabic coffee nescafe packs, not only does that represent my Saudi culture but also my culture as a foreigner that has to adapt in NYC and so do my customs and my routines. This resembles my workplace as it is a community of arab immigrants or students that are heavily influenced by both the east and the west. Furthermore I wanted to make a shape that resembled my the Saudi Agal which is traditional headwear for men.
