Dubai Design Week 2021

Asas tells an exciting story of a fifty-year old journey, filled with risks, challenges and rough times; this is an ongoing journey that keeps proving to be an unprecedented success.

Commemorating the 50th anniversary of the UAE, 50 prints interpret 50 themes and keywords, highlighted repeatedly in sayings and quotes from the leaders of the UAE.

For project Asas, Professor Faour invited her student, Fatma Al Suwaidi, to participate in this playful exercise that uses the Arabic diacritic dot, the foundation of the Arabic letter, to interpret words that form the foundation for a thriving nation.
