I used to be a skateboard

This is one of the last things i've done last year, along with  the owner of Philadelphia Skate boards, he gave me some old broken skateboards and i upcycled them into jewellery, using my jigsaw :) i also did an art peice using two of his brand new skateboards, they were displayed at an event called City language at foresight art gallery.. along with 21 other artists.








Hamzet Wasel - upcycling workshop with the children of Jabal Al Qala'a

Hamzet Wasel is an intiative that works with local communities in amman. i worked with the kids from Jabal Al Qala'a at Souq Al Balad and we made small gift packages from egg cartons





Dana

Dana is a natural reserve south of Jordan, i went with my friend Molly down there to volunteer in a hotel and to teach women to make recycled crafts so they can sell them. it was one of the most satisfying experiences i ever had.. we slept in tents on the roof of the hotel and we drank a lot of tea
