My Open Works concept was inspired by the third chapter of Alan Lightman’s ‘Einstein’s Dreams’ (pgs 18-22) entitled 19 April 1905. I created an accordion books in order to capture the thoughts explored in the chapter in a dynamic way that will capture the audience’s attention. The viewer is offered two possible ways to react to a scenario and the corresponding book detailed the consequences of their decision.

I am a Bahraini product designer based in New York City. I am currently pursuing a degree in product design at Parsons the New School of Design. With a focus on furniture and housewares, I am very hands on in my design process; often designing through the manufacturing process. I continue to challenge myself by taking on projects as an opportunity to explore materiality and processes. Rather than hiding imperfections in a piece, I bring them to the forefront of the concept to highlight the manufacturing process.
