  • In a high-ceilinged Beirut apartment,
    your eyes are attracted to a screen.

    It carries your wardrobe,
    surrounded by your smell,
    and your choice of things to own.

    In an instant it brought me
    to your dressing room.

  • My dressing room is a space divider, that objectifies a function.

    It combines the role of a space divider found in different rooms around a house unit, as a screen, and its informal function often used as a clothes hanger, sometimes a shelf, a reflective surface and a shoe rest.

    In this attempt, the studio takes the screen divider as a theme and reveals its different functions as an intimate structure that merges a screen, a mirror and a small bench, revealing the behavioral aspect of the object compared to its original role of space divider as a sculptural object.

    The flat panels become volumes of use in an attempt to create a dressing room.
