FOLLOWING THE TIDE
Coffee-table Collection
This collection is inspired by the lagoons and cenotes in the state of Quintana Roo in Mexico: the movement of the tide and the change in topography reveal different materials shaping the intersection of earth and water. "Following the Tide" is an explosion erupted from the circular nucleus, dispersed into crushed Forest Green marble and aggregates of recuperated brass. It is composed in a pigmented resin on an oxidized bronze base.

WAL(L)TZ
Short-film in collaboration with Dei Al Ayoubi
"Wal(l)tz" takes you on a psychological journey, hinting at the resilience of Humanity in the face of adversity and reflecting the voices rising against oppression in Lebanon - and globally - today. A time capsule of emotions confined between walls, Wal(l)tz is a public installation designed by T SAKHI, a 15 linear meter wall portraying the socio-political barriers in society.
This 4th short-film is part of a film series collaborating with directors and musicians, to intersect the realms of architecture, cinema and music. They emerge from the sisters' passionate curiosity, as they seek to delve into the essence of every design they conceive, be it a physical space or an object, by weaving them into imaginative narratives. Their aim is to captivate the audience with immersive storytelling that transcends mere static visuals.
